Affine toric schemes of cones #
The affine toric scheme associated to a cone is the spectrum of the complex monoid algebra of
its dual semigroup. A compatible map of lattices carrying one cone into another induces a map
of dual semigroups in the opposite direction, hence a homomorphism of coordinate rings and,
after applying Spec, a morphism of affine toric schemes in the original direction.
This file fixes those carriers and proves their identity and composition laws. No finite generation hypothesis is needed to form the monoid algebra or its spectrum. Finite generation of the dual semigroup is the separate input that will later show that this affine scheme is of finite type.

The construction follows §1.2 of W. Fulton, Introduction to Toric Varieties, and §§1.1–1.3 of D. Cox, J. Little and H. Schenck, Toric Varieties.
Coordinate rings #
The coordinate ring of the affine toric chart of a cone: the complex monoid algebra of its dual semigroup.
Instances For
A compatible map of lattices carrying σ into τ induces the homomorphism from the
coordinate ring of τ to the coordinate ring of σ.
Instances For
The coordinate-ring map sends the monomial of a character to the monomial of its pullback.
The identity map of a lattice cone induces the identity of its coordinate ring.
Coordinate-ring maps reverse composition, as required by their contravariance in cones.
Affine spectra #
The affine toric scheme associated to a cone is the spectrum of its complex monoid algebra.
Instances For
A compatible map of lattice cones induces a morphism of their affine toric schemes.
Instances For
The affine toric morphism is Spec of the induced coordinate-ring map.
The identity map of a lattice cone induces the identity of its affine toric scheme.
Applying Spec restores covariance: the morphism of a composite cone map is the composite
of the corresponding affine toric morphisms.
Affine toric morphisms are morphisms over Spec ℂ: they commute with the projections of their
source and target to Spec ℂ.
