Krull Dimension and Schemes
It follows readily from the definition of the spectrum of a ring, the space of prime ideals of equipped with the Zariski topology, that the Krull dimension of is precisely equal to the irreducible dimension of its spectrum. This follows immediately from the Galois connection between ideals of and closed subsets of and the observation that, by the definition of, each prime ideal of corresponds to a generic point of the closed subset associated to via the Galois connection.

Famous quotes containing the words dimension and/or schemes:
“Le Corbusier was the sort of relentlessly rational intellectual that only France loves wholeheartedly, the logician who flies higher and higher in ever-decreasing circles until, with one last, utterly inevitable induction, he disappears up his own fundamental aperture and emerges in the fourth dimension as a needle-thin umber bird.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
“Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.”
—James Conant (1893–1978)
