We show that for any maximal ideal N of A'=k(t)_{per}\otimes_k A, the elements in \hat{A'_N} which are annihilated by the "Taylor" Hasse-Schmidt derivations with respect to the X_i form a coefficient field of \hat{A'_N}.Final versionCommutative Algebra13F25, 13N15, 13B35, 13A35Coefficient fields and scalar extension in positive characteristictext
