Named after the Japanese mathematician Kunihiko Kodaira, the {\em Kodaira dimension} $K$ of a non-singular algebraic variety $V$ is $t - 1$, where $t$ is the transcendence degree of a graded ring $R$. Named after the Japanese mathematician Kunihiko Kodaira, the {\em Kodaira dimension} $K$ of a non-singular algebraic variety $V$ is $t - 1$, where $t$ is the transcendence degree of a graded ring $R$.
If $V$ is on the projective line and $R$ is in the zero ring, the Kodaira dimension is set as $â1$. But the Kodaira dimension is 0 if the curve $K$ is both elliptic and a trivial bundle, and all plurigenera are 1.
