Dual semigroups of toric cones #
An integral character of a lattice extends uniquely to a real-linear functional on the ambient
real vector space (TauCeti.Toric.IsIntegralLattice.realCharacter). The dual semigroup of a cone
consists of the integral characters whose real extensions are nonnegative on the cone. When the
cone is rational polyhedral, this is the additive monoid whose semigroup algebra is the
coordinate ring of the corresponding affine toric variety; the definition itself imposes no
finiteness hypothesis on the cone.
The construction is expressed as the inverse image of Mathlib's PointedCone.dual, so its order
reversal and its behavior on cone hulls come directly from the convex-geometric duality API.
Maps of lattices carrying one cone into another induce contravariant maps of dual semigroups.

The construction follows §1.2 of W. Fulton, Introduction to Toric Varieties, and §1.2 of D. Cox, J. Little and H. Schenck, Toric Varieties.
The dual semigroup #
The dual semigroup of a cone consists of the integral characters whose real-linear extensions are nonnegative on the cone.
Instances For
The dual semigroup is the lattice-point monoid of Mathlib's dual cone under real extension of integral characters.
An integral character belongs to the dual semigroup exactly when its real extension is nonnegative at every point of the cone.
Enlarging a cone shrinks its dual semigroup.
Taking the dual semigroup reverses the order on pointed cones.
The dual semigroup of the zero cone is the full character group.
The dual semigroup of the whole space is trivial: the dual cone of the whole space is zero
(PointedCone.dual_univ), and real extension of integral characters is injective.
The dual semigroup of the whole space has a single element, so the complex monoid algebra
of the corresponding affine toric chart is ℂ (MonoidAlgebra.uniqueAlgEquiv), and the chart
is a point.
The dual semigroup of a join is the intersection of the two dual semigroups.
On a cone generated by a set of lattice vectors, membership in the dual semigroup is equivalent to the corresponding family of integral inequalities.
Functoriality #
A compatible map of lattices carrying a source cone into a target cone induces the contravariant map on dual semigroups by precomposition of characters.
Instances For
The map on dual semigroups is precomposition by the underlying map of lattices.
The underlying character of the image of a character under the map on dual semigroups is its precomposition with the underlying map of lattices.
Along the identity of a lattice, a cone inclusion σ ≤ σ' induces the inclusion of dual
semigroups: the image of a character is the same character.
The identity map of a lattice induces the identity map of its dual semigroup.
Contravariant dual-semigroup maps turn a composite of compatible cone maps into the composite of the induced maps.
A lattice equivalence carrying one cone onto another identifies their dual semigroups contravariantly, by precomposition of characters.
Instances For
The dual-semigroup equivalence precomposes with the integral lattice equivalence.
The inverse dual-semigroup equivalence precomposes with the inverse lattice equivalence.
