Dual semigroups of product cones #
An integral character on a product lattice is nonnegative on a product cone precisely when its restrictions to the two factors are nonnegative. Consequently the dual semigroup of a product cone is canonically the product of the two dual semigroups. This identification uses restriction of characters and their coproduct, with no bases or regularity hypotheses, and supplies the character identification for products of affine toric schemes.

A character is nonnegative on a product cone exactly when its restrictions to both factors are nonnegative.
Restriction to the two factors identifies the dual semigroup of a product cone with the product of the factor dual semigroups. The inverse takes the coproduct of characters.

The first component of the product equivalence evaluates a character on the first factor.
The second component of the product equivalence evaluates a character on the second factor.
The inverse product equivalence sums the values of the two factor characters.
