Krull dimension of a preordered set and height of an element #
If α
is a preordered set, then krullDim α : WithBot ℕ∞
is defined to be
sup {n | a₀ < a₁ < ... < aₙ}
.
In case that α
is empty, then its Krull dimension is defined to be negative infinity; if the
length of all series a₀ < a₁ < ... < aₙ
is unbounded, then its Krull dimension is defined to be
positive infinity.
For a : α
, its height (in ℕ∞
) is defined to be sup {n | a₀ < a₁ < ... < aₙ ≤ a}
while its
coheight is defined to be sup {n | a ≤ a₀ < a₁ < ... < aₙ}
.
Main results #
The Krull dimension is the same as that of the dual order (
krullDim_orderDual
).The Krull dimension is the supremum of the heights of the elements (
krullDim_eq_iSup_height
).The height is monotone.
Design notes #
Krull dimensions are defined to take value in WithBot ℕ∞
so that (-∞) + (+∞)
is
also negative infinity. This is because we want Krull dimensions to be additive with respect
to product of varieties so that -∞
being the Krull dimension of empty variety is equal to
sum of -∞
and the Krull dimension of any other varieties.
We could generalize the notion of Krull dimension to an arbitrary binary relation; many results in this file would generalize as well. But we don't think it would be useful, so we only define Krull dimension of a preorder.
The Krull dimension of a preorder α
is the supremum of the rightmost index of all relation
series of α
ordered by <
. If there is no series a₀ < a₁ < ... < aₙ
in α
, then its Krull
dimension is defined to be negative infinity; if the length of all series a₀ < a₁ < ... < aₙ
is
unbounded, its Krull dimension is defined to be positive infinity.

The height of an element a
in a preorder α
is the supremum of the rightmost index of all
relation series of α
ordered by <

Height #
Alternative definition of height, with the supremum ranging only over those series that end at a
.
The height of the last element in a series is larger or equal to the length of the series.
The height of an element in a series is larger or equal to its index in the series.
In a maximally long series, i.e one as long as the height of the last element, the height of each element is its index in the series.

A definition of krullDim for nonempty α
that avoids WithBot
The Krull dimension is the supremum of the elements' heights.
