Dual semigroups of faces of toric cones #
A character m in the dual semigroup of a cone σ cuts out the face σ ⊓ ker m of σ. When
σ is finitely generated, the dual semigroup of that face is generated by the dual semigroup of
σ together with -m: every character nonnegative on the face becomes nonnegative on σ after
adding a multiple of m. This is the semigroup form of the statement that the affine chart of the
face is the localization of the chart of σ away from the monomial of m.

The negative of a character lies in the dual semigroup of the part of a cone on which the character vanishes.
Let m lie in the dual semigroup of a finitely generated cone σ. A character in the dual
semigroup of the face σ ⊓ ker m lies in the dual semigroup of σ after adding a multiple
of m.
The dual semigroup of the face σ ⊓ ker m cut out by a character m in the dual semigroup
of a finitely generated cone σ is generated by the dual semigroup of σ together with -m.
A character in the dual semigroup vanishes on a face of a regular cone exactly when all of its regular ray coordinates indexed by rays of that face vanish.
