Definition 82.2.5. In Situation 82.2.1 for any good $X/B$ and any irreducible closed subset $T \subset |X|$ we define
where $\xi \in T$ is the generic point of $T$. We will call this the $\delta $-dimension of $T$. If $T \subset |X|$ is any closed subset, then we define $\dim _\delta (T)$ as the supremum of the $\delta $-dimensions of the irreducible components of $T$. If $Z$ is a closed subspace of $X$, then we set $\dim _\delta (Z) = \dim _\delta (|Z|)$.
