dim(AffineVariety) -- dimension of the affine variety

• Function: dim

• Usage:

  dim V

• Inputs:
  • V, an affine variety
• Outputs:
  • an integer

i1 : R = ZZ/101[x,y];

i2 : point = ideal(x,y);

o2 : Ideal of R

i3 : line = ideal(2*x+3*y-1);

o3 : Ideal of R

i4 : V=Spec(R/intersect(point,line))

o4 = V

o4 : AffineVariety

i5 : dim V

o5 = 1

i6 : Z=Spec(R/(point+line))

o6 = Z

o6 : AffineVariety

i7 : dim Z

o7 = -1
