Morphisms of relative dimension at most d #

A morphism of schemes f : X ⟶ Y has relative dimension at most d if every scheme-theoretic fibre f.fiber y has Krull dimension at most d. This is the fibrewise dimension bound in the definition of a family of curves: a proper, flat, finitely presented morphism of relative dimension at most one.

The fibre f.fiber y is homeomorphic to the set-theoretic fibre f ⁻¹' {y}, so the condition is topological. It is invariant under isomorphisms and local on both the source and the target in the Zariski topology. For a morphism locally of finite type it is stable under arbitrary base change: the fibre of a base change at y' is the base change of the fibre at the image of y' along the extension of residue fields, which does not change the Krull dimension of a scheme locally of finite type over a field. Without a finiteness hypothesis the bound is not stable under base change: Spec K → Spec k has relative dimension zero for every field extension K / k, while Spec (K ⊗[k] K) can have positive dimension when K / k is transcendental.

Relative dimensions add up under composition of morphisms locally of finite type. The input is the fibrewise dimension inequality: if f : X ⟶ Y is a morphism of locally Noetherian schemes of relative dimension at most d, then dim X ≤ dim Y + d. On affine charts this is the bound dim S ≤ dim R + d for a Noetherian algebra S over a Noetherian ring R whose fibres κ(p) ⊗[R] S have dimension at most d (ringKrullDim_le_ringKrullDim_add_of_ringKrullDim_fiber_le). The fibre of f ≫ g over a point z is the base change of f along the fibre of g over z, a scheme locally of finite type over the field κ(z), so the inequality bounds its dimension by e + d.
