In algebraic geometry, the Kodaira dimension κ(V) measures the size of the canonical model of a projective variety V.
The definition of Kodaira dimension, named for Kunihiko Kodaira, and the notation κ were introduced in the seminar (Igor R. Shafarevich, B. G. Averbuh & Ju. R. Vaĭnberg et al. 1965).

Famous quotes containing the word dimension:
“Le Corbusier was the sort of relentlessly rational intellectual that only France loves wholeheartedly, the logician who flies higher and higher in ever-decreasing circles until, with one last, utterly inevitable induction, he disappears up his own fundamental aperture and emerges in the fourth dimension as a needle-thin umber bird.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
