Abstract
Let Q be a prime ideal of R[X1, ..., Xn] and let P=Q ∩ R. This paper investigates the relationship between the ranks of Q and P[X1, ..., Xn]. The results are used to recover some well-known results concerning the Krull dimension of R[X1, ..., Xn]. The paper also contains a number of examples related to questions which arose in connection with the above investigation.
