Dimension image of morphism of projective varieties












2












$begingroup$


Let $f: mathbb{P}^n to mathbb{P}^m$ be a rational map. Then there exists $U subset mathbb{P}^n$ open so that $f_{|U}$ is a morphism. What can we say about the dimension of $overline{f(U)}$? We have that $dimmathbb{P}^n = dim U$ and $dim f(U)= dimoverline{f(U)}$. Can I conclude that $n=dim U geq dimoverline{f(U)} $ by the surjectvity of $f : U to f(U)$ ? I think that's not true because $U$ in general is not a projective variety and $f$ need not be a morphism on $overline{U}$. How can I proceed? Can I find more information assuming that $U subset mathbb{A}^n$?



Thanks for the help!
