Abstract In this note we want to generalize some of the results in [Citation1] from polynomial rings in several indeterminates to arbitrary ℤ n -graded commutative rings. We will prove an analogue of Jaffard's Special Chain Theorem and a similar result for the height of a prime ideal 𝔭 over its graded core 𝔭*.
