In algebraic geometry, the Kodaira dimension κ(V) measures the size of the canonical model of a projective variety V.
The definition of Kodaira dimension, named for Kunihiko Kodaira, and the notation κ were introduced in the seminar (Igor R. Shafarevich, B. G. Averbuh & Ju. R. Vaĭnberg et al. 1965).

Famous quotes containing the word dimension:
“God cannot be seen: he is too bright for sight; nor grasped: he is too pure for touch; nor measured: for he is beyond all sense, infinite, measureless, his dimension known to himself alone.”
—Marcus Minucius Felix (2nd or 3rd cen. A.D.)
