Krull dimension

TheoremKrull dimension does not increase along integral algebras#✓fully proved

Let \(A\) and \(B\) be commutative rings and let \(B\) be an \(A\)-algebra that is integral over \(A\). Then the Krull dimension of \(B\) is at most the Krull dimension of \(A\).

The structure map \(A \to B\) need not be injective. The inequality comes from incomparability: contracting prime ideals of \(B\) to \(A\) is strictly monotone, so it gives a strictly monotone map from the prime spectrum of \(B\) to the prime spectrum of \(A\).
