Classification of tori by cocharacter lattices #
The cocharacter-lattice functor is naturally isomorphic to the integral dual of the character-lattice functor. Over a perfect field it is therefore an equivalence: continuous integral Galois lattices classify tori covariantly, or their coordinate Hopf algebras contravariantly. The comparison of functors itself holds over every field.

The cocharacter-lattice functor is the contragredient dual of the character-lattice functor. This identifies the intrinsic geometric cocharacters with integral character functionals.

Instances For
The comparison with the dual character functor evaluates a cocharacter on a character.
Over a perfect field, the geometric cocharacter-lattice functor classifies tori. Its variance is contravariant here because the source consists of coordinate Hopf algebras.
