Abstract: Let f:XoY be a Cohen-Macaulay map of finite type between Noetherian schemes, and :YoY a base change map, with Y Noetherian. Let f be the base change of f under g and g the base change of g under f. We show that there is a canonical isomorphism between gomegaf and omegaf, where omegaf and omegaf are the relative dualizing sheaves. The map underlying this isomorphism is easily described when f is proper, and has subtler description when f is not. If f is smooth we show that this map between the dualizing sheaves corresponds to the canonical identification of differential forms. Our results generalize the results of B. Conrad in two directions - wedo not need the properness assumption, and we do not need to assume that theschemes involved carry dualizing complexes. Residual complexes do not appear in this paper.
