A deformation theory for rings and algebras was introduced recently by M. Gerstenhaber [1]. Let K be an extension of a field k, and p denotes the characteristic. One of his results is that, if K is separable over k, then it is rigid. It was conjectured in [1] that, if K is not separable over k, then it is not rigid, and if it is further finitely generated, then an integrable element of (see [2]) will be found in the image of Sqp. In this note we shall study the above conjecture in certain special case.
