= Dimension formula for an algebraic group homomorphism
{title2=$\dim G=\dim\ker\varphi+\dim\operatorname{im}\varphi$}

The kernel is a closed identity fiber. The image is closed because a <constructible subgroup is closed>. Every nonempty fiber is a kernel translate, so the <fiber dimension theorem> gives $\dim G=\dim\ker\varphi+\dim\operatorname{im}\varphi$, even for inseparable morphisms.
