The Krull dimension of a topological space #
The Krull dimension of a topological space is the order-theoretic Krull dimension applied to the collection of all its subsets that are closed and irreducible. Unfolding this definition, it is the length of longest series of closed irreducible subsets ordered by inclusion.
Main results #
topologicalKrullDim_subspace_le: For any subspace Y ⊆ X, we have dim(Y) ≤ dim(X)
Implementation notes #
The proofs use order-preserving maps between posets of irreducible closed sets to establish dimension inequalities.
The Krull dimension of a topological space is the supremum of lengths of chains of closed irreducible sets.

Main dimension theorems #
If f : Y → X is inducing, then dim(Y) ≤ dim(X).
The topological Krull dimension is invariant under homeomorphisms
The topological Krull dimension of any subspace is at most the dimension of the ambient space.
In a sober space X, the set of points of coheight 0 in the specialization order is order
isomorphic to the set of irreducible components of X.

Instances For
In a quasi-sober irreducible space X, a point of a non-dense subset p which has coheight 1
in X has coheight 0 in p.
In a quasi-sober, irreducible, T0 space X, a Noetherian quasi-sober subspace p whose closure
is not all of X contains only finitely many points of coheight 1 (in the specialization order
of X).
