Characters of a free commutative monoid #
The free commutative monoid on an index type σ is modelled as Multiplicative (σ →₀ ℕ): its
underlying additive monoid σ →₀ ℕ is the free ℕ-module on σ. This file records its
universal property in the form most useful for the functor of points of an affine semigroup: a
homomorphism Multiplicative (σ →₀ ℕ) →* M to a commutative monoid M is the same data as a
family σ → M.
The equivalence sends a homomorphism χ to its values i ↦ χ (ofAdd (single i 1)) on the
standard generators, and a family c : σ → M to the unique homomorphism extending it. This is
the many-generator version of Mathlib's powersHom : M ≃ (Multiplicative ℕ →* M) (the case of
one generator), and the monoid counterpart of TauCeti.freeAbelianCharEquiv in
TauCeti.Algebra.Group.FreeAbelianCharacter: no invertibility is imposed on the values. The two
appear together whenever a semigroup splits as a product of a free commutative monoid and a free
abelian group, as the dual semigroup of a smooth cone does; the values of a character on the free
monoid factor may vanish, while those on the free abelian factor are units.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.freeCommMonoidCharEquiv: the multiplicative equivalence(Multiplicative (σ →₀ ℕ) →* M) ≃* (σ → M).

The construction reuses Mathlib's group-algebra-free toolkit: the Finsupp.liftAddHom
universal property of σ →₀ ℕ, the ℕ-power homomorphism multiplesHom, and the type-tag
adjunction AddMonoidHom.toMultiplicativeLeft from Mathlib.Algebra.Group.TypeTags.Hom.
The universal property of the free commutative monoid Multiplicative (σ →₀ ℕ): a
homomorphism to a commutative monoid M is the same data as a family σ → M. The forward map
reads off the values on the standard generators ofAdd (single i 1); the inverse extends a
family to the unique homomorphism through Finsupp.liftAddHom and the ℕ-power
homomorphism.

Instances For
The forward direction of freeCommMonoidCharEquiv evaluates a character on the standard
generator indexed by i.
The inverse of freeCommMonoidCharEquiv evaluates a finitely supported family of natural
exponents as the corresponding product of powers of the chosen coordinates.
Reading off generator values is natural in the target monoid: post-composing with a
homomorphism ψ : M →* N commutes with freeCommMonoidCharEquiv.
