Summary: Let $T \in L(X)^n$ be a Cowen--Douglas tuple on a Banach space $X$ . We use functional representations of $T$ to associate with each $T$ -invariant subspace $Y\subset X$ an integer called the fiber dimension $\mathrm{fd}(Y)$ of $Y$ . Among other results we prove a limit formula for the fiber dimension, show that it is invariant under suitable changes of $Y$ and deduce a dimension formula for pairs of homogeneous invariant subspaces of graded Cowen--Douglas tuples on Hilbert spaces.
