Topological Krull Dimension #

API for topological Krull dimension on irreducible spaces.

Main results #

Irreducible spaces of dimension 0 #

On an irreducible space with topologicalKrullDim ≤ 0, every irreducible closed subset equals the whole space.

On an irreducible space of dimension ≤ 0, the only opens are ⊥ and ⊤. Every point is dense, so any nonempty open contains every point.

Dimension helpers #

On a non-empty topological space, the topological Krull dimension is ≥ 0.

Any strict upper bound on the topological Krull dimension of a space also bounds the dimension of each subspace.

A natural-number upper bound on the topological Krull dimension implies that the dimension is finite.

If Y has strictly smaller topological Krull dimension than X, then any natural-number upper bound dim X < n + 1 descends to the predecessor bound dim Y < n.

Instances For

    An irreducible closed subset of a proper closed subspace of an irreducible space has height at most one less than the ambient topological Krull dimension.

    The topological Krull dimension is the supremum of the heights of irreducible closed sets.

    The topological Krull dimension plus one is the supremum of the heights of irreducible closed sets, each shifted by one.

    Unconditional: topologicalKrullDim Y + 1 ≤ topologicalKrullDim X for Y ⊊ X closed in irreducible X.

    On an irreducible space, a proper closed subset with finite Krull dimension has strictly smaller Krull dimension. The finiteness hypothesis excludes the case where both Y and X have infinite dimension.

    On an irreducible space, positive topological Krull dimension is equivalent to the existence of a proper irreducible closed subset.

    On an irreducible space of positive finite Krull dimension, one can choose a proper closed subset Z ⊊ X of strictly smaller Krull dimension. This isolates the structural closed-subset choice from the separate task of passing numerical bounds to Z.
