The fan of projective space #
Let b be an integral basis of the lattice N, indexed by a finite type ι of size n. The
fan of n-dimensional projective space has n + 1 ray generators: the basis vectors b j and
the vector -∑ j, b j, which we index by Option ι, with none for the last one. Its cones are
the cones spanned by the generators indexed by a proper subset S of Option ι.
Any n of the n + 1 generators form an integral basis, and the only linear relation among all
of them is that they sum to zero. The first fact makes every cone regular. The second makes the
conical coefficients of a point of two such cones agree up to a common constant, which must
vanish since each cone omits a generator. Hence two cones meet in the cone of the intersection
of their index sets, a face of both, and the cones form a fan. It is complete: subtracting from
the coefficients of a point the least of them writes it as a conical combination omitting one
generator.
The affine chart of the maximal cone omitting the generator indexed by k is the standard affine
chart of projective space on which the k-th homogeneous coordinate does not vanish; this is
proved in TauCeti.Geometry.Toric.Algebraic.Fan.ProjectiveSpace.Proj.

The ray generators #
The ray generators of the fan of projective space attached to an integral basis b: the
basis vector b j at some j, and the negative -∑ j, b j of their sum at none.
Instances For
The ray generators of the fan of projective space sum to zero.
Any family of ray generators of the fan of projective space omitting one of them is linearly independent over the reals.
The cones #
The cone of the fan of projective space spanned by the ray generators indexed by S. It is a
cone of the fan when S omits some generator.
Instances For
A point lies in the cone of the fan of projective space indexed by S exactly when it is a
nonnegative combination of the ray generators with coefficients vanishing outside S.
The maximal cone of the fan of projective space omitting the extra ray is the positive orthant spanned by the basis vectors.
Two cones of the fan of projective space, each omitting some generator, meet in the cone of the intersection of their index sets.
The cone of the fan of projective space indexed by a set S omitting some generator lies in
the cone indexed by T exactly when S ⊆ T.
Two cones of the fan of projective space, each omitting some generator, coincide exactly when their index sets do.
A cone of the fan of projective space omitting some generator is regular.
The fan #
The fan of projective space attached to an integral basis b of an integral lattice: its
cones are spanned by the families of ray generators projectiveSpaceGenerator b omitting at least
one of them. For a basis indexed by a type with n elements it is the fan of n-dimensional
complex projective space.
Instances For
The cones of the fan of projective space are the cones spanned by the families of ray generators omitting at least one of them.
The maximal cone omitting the ray k, whose projective chart has X_k ≠ 0.
Instances For
Every cone of the fan of projective space lies in the maximal cone omitting some ray.

The fan of projective space is nonempty: it contains the zero cone.
The fan of projective space is complete.
