Lemma 5.11.2. Let X be a topological space. Let Y \subset X be an irreducible closed subset. Let U \subset X be an open subset such that Y \cap U is nonempty. Then
\text{codim}(Y, X) = \text{codim}(Y \cap U, U)
Proof. The rule T \mapsto \overline{T} defines a bijective inclusion preserving map between the closed irreducible subsets of U and the closed irreducible subsets of X which meet U. Using this the lemma easily follows. Details omitted. \square
