Write . If , its prime ideal has height one and is generated by an irreducible polynomial , because is a unique factorization domain. Then is a principal open subscheme and
If , its complement has codimension two. Since is normal, regular functions extend across that codimension-two subset, giving
This includes the calculation for the punctured affine plane. If has dimension two, then is empty and its ring of sections is the zero ring.
