Internal actions from the toric coaction #
The coordinate-ring coaction is an internal action in the opposite category of complex algebras. Its unit and associativity laws are the counit and coassociativity identities of the coaction. Face restrictions are equivariant morphisms of these internal actions.
This packaging allows a lax monoidal functor, in particular the spectrum functor, to transport the action and its laws together. No regularity or finite-generation assumption on the cone is needed.
