Statement

Let A be an affine domain over a field k, i.e. a finitely generated algebra over k, that also happens to be an integral domain. Then, the following are equivalent:

  • The Krull dimension of A
  • The Krull dimension of the localization of A at any maximal ideal (which is the same as that obtained using the Hilbert-Samuel polynomial)
  • The transcendence degree of the field of fractions of A, over k
