LetAt a finite ramification point , the uniformizer from part b satisfies . ConsequentlyAt every other affine point, is a uniformizer and is a unit, so again .
At , take the uniformizer used above. Since times a local unit,It follows that and , so the valuation of a rational differential isThuswhose degree four agrees with . For the resulting canonical divisor , the functions have pole orders at and no other poles. They therefore belong to the canonical Riemann-Roch space. Since , they form a basis:Equivalently, multiplying by gives the basisof holomorphic differential forms, also matching the general description of holomorphic differentials on a smooth plane curve.
