On the dimension of an arbitrary ascending chain (Q687938)

We know that the dimension for an irreducible ascending chain \(ASC\) of multivariate polynomials over a field of characteristic zero is a crucial concept in Ritt-Wu's constructive theory of algebraic geometry. We can also define the dimension for an arbitrary ascending chain similarly. But one may say that this definition has no geometric meaning. In this note, we shall show that the dimension of an arbitrary ascending chain does have geometric meaning and hence describes certain natural properties for the ascending chain.
