Closed-point dimension lemma for affine domains
ID: closed-point-dimension-lemma-for-affine-domains
If is a finite-type integral domain over an algebraically closed field and , every maximal ideal has height of a prime ideal . Choose a Noether normalization . The contraction of is a maximal ideal of the polynomial ring and has height ; going-down theorem lifts its full chain since the polynomial ring is integrally closed domain. The upper bound is . A principal open subset containing a closed point consequently has dimension , because the whole chain under that point survives localization.
