We show that deciding whether an algebraic variety has an irreducible component of codimension at least d is an NPC-complete problem for every fixed d (and is in the Arthur–Merlin class if we assume a bit model of computation). However, when d is not fixed but is instead part of the input, we show that the problem is not likely to be in NPC or in coNPC. These results are generalized to arbitrary constructible sets. We also study the complexity of a few other related problems.
