Cutting by a nonzero element drops the Krull dimension by at least one:
dim(A/(g)) + 1 ≤ dim A for a nonzero g in a domain.
Localizing away from f can only decrease the Krull dimension:
dim A[f⁻¹] ≤ dim A.
A prime ideal disjoint from {1, f, f², …} has the same height before and after
localizing away from f.
For a nonzero element f of a finitely generated domain over k, there exists a prime
ideal P of maximal height (= dim A) disjoint from the powers of f.
Reverse inequality for finitely generated k-algebras: localizing away from a nonzero
element does not decrease the Krull dimension.
For a nonzero element of a finitely generated k-algebra domain, localizing away
preserves the Krull dimension: dim A[f⁻¹] = dim A.
Any minimal prime of a principal ideal (g) with g ≠ 0 in a domain is nonzero.
Krull's principal-ideal theorem in a Noetherian domain: a minimal prime over a nonzero principal ideal has height exactly one.
The catenary inequality applied to a minimal prime of a nonzero principal ideal:
1 + dim(A/P) ≤ dim A.
For a minimal prime P over (g), the dimension of A/P is at most the dimension of
A/(g), via the surjective quotient map.
Catenarity for polynomial rings over a field: for any prime P in k[x₁,…,xₙ],
height P + dim(k[x]/P) = n.
No element of k = MvPolynomial (Fin 0) k is irreducible (every nonzero element is a unit).
If MvPolynomial (Fin n) k admits an irreducible element, then n ≥ 1.
The ideal (f) cut out by an irreducible polynomial in k[x₁,…,xₙ] has height one.
Catenarity in the polynomial ring: for a minimal prime P of (g) with g ≠ 0,
1 + dim(k[x]/P) = dim k[x].
Dimension of an irreducible hypersurface in affine n-space:
dim(k[x₁,…,xₙ] / (f)) = n - 1 for f irreducible.
