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:
“By intervening in the Vietnamese struggle the United States was attempting to fit its global strategies into a world of hillocks and hamlets, to reduce its majestic concerns for the containment of communism and the security of the Free World to a dimension where governments rose and fell as a result of arguments between two colonels’ wives.”
—Frances Fitzgerald (b. 1940)
