Lemma 10.116.2. Let k be a field. Let S be a finite type k-algebra. Let \mathfrak q \subset \mathfrak q' \subset S be distinct prime ideals. Then \text{trdeg}_ k\ \kappa (\mathfrak q') < \text{trdeg}_ k\ \kappa (\mathfrak q).

Proof. By Lemma 10.116.1 we have \dim V(\mathfrak q) = \text{trdeg}_ k\ \kappa (\mathfrak q) and similarly for \mathfrak q'. Hence the result follows as the strict inclusion V(\mathfrak q') \subset V(\mathfrak q) implies a strict inequality of dimensions. \square
