The transcendence degree of a field is an important invariant. Recent developments in noncommutative algebraic geometry suggest that we need an analogous invariant for division algebras not necessarily finite over their centers (see Section 9). Since the 1960s several attempts have been made to define such an invariant [GK, BK, Re1, Re2, Re3, Sc1, Sc2, St], the most successful of which is due to Gelfand and Kirillov. In their paper [GK] they defined two invariants, now called Gelfand Kirillov dimension (GKdim) and Gelfand Kirillov transcendence degree (Tdeg) respectively. For an algebra A over a base field k, the GK-dimension of A is defined to be
