The relevant invariant of a divisor is its Iitaka dimension, also called its Kodaira dimension. If two linearly independent global sections occur in , their ratio is a nonconstant rational function. The sections are linearly independent, because a nonconstant rational function over an algebraically closed field is transcendental over that field. Thus some complete linear system of a divisor has positive-dimensional image, contradicting .
