The cocharacter-lattice functor of tori #

A morphism of coordinate Hopf algebras sends geometric characters forward. Precomposition with that character map sends integral duals backward, and hence gives the contravariant map on geometric cocharacters. This file proves that these maps are equivariant for the contragredient absolute-Galois actions and assembles them into a functor from the opposite of the category of torus coordinate rings to integral Galois lattices.

The character--cocharacter pairing is natural for these two variance conventions. Thus the two lattice functors supply the functorial perfect pairing needed to form root data from a split pair.

The contravariant map on geometric cocharacters induced by a morphism of coordinate Hopf algebras. Under X_*(T) ≃ Hom_ℤ(X^*(T), ℤ), it is precomposition with the covariant map on geometric characters.

    The identity coordinate morphism induces the identity on cocharacters.

    Cocharacter maps reverse composition of coordinate morphisms.

    The map on cocharacters is equivariant for the contragredient absolute-Galois actions.

    The character--cocharacter pairing is natural: mapping a character covariantly or mapping a cocharacter contravariantly gives the same integer.

            The object part of the cocharacter-lattice functor is the geometric cocharacter lattice with its contragredient Galois action.

            The map part of the cocharacter-lattice functor is the dual of the corresponding character map, transported to geometric cocharacters.
