Orbit strata of a regular affine toric cone #
The face F of a regular toric cone determines a stratum of its affine complex points. A point
belongs to this stratum precisely when a monomial is nonzero at the point exactly when its
character vanishes on F. This description is intrinsic: it uses neither an extending basis nor
a numbering of the rays.
In regular coordinates, the stratum has the familiar form: the coordinate indexed by a ray is
zero exactly when that ray belongs to F; every complementary coordinate is already invertible.
This identifies the strata with the coordinate pieces of the mixed chart. In particular, every
stratum is nonempty and locally closed, the strata are pairwise disjoint and cover the affine
chart, and their closure order is the reverse of the face order.
The strata are exactly the orbits of the coordinate-free complex torus. Each stratum contains a
distinguished point, taking the value 1 on the monomials of the characters vanishing on F and
0 on all others; the torus preserves every stratum, and in regular coordinates it moves the
distinguished point to any other point of its stratum by rescaling the nonzero coordinates. This
is the orbit–cone correspondence for the affine chart: faces of the cone correspond bijectively to
torus orbits, reversing the closure order. The stabilizer of the distinguished point of F is the
subtorus of torus points trivial on the characters vanishing on F: those characters are
differences of characters of the dual semigroup vanishing on F, because F is cut out by a
single character of the dual semigroup.

The stratum of the affine toric chart associated to a face F. Its points are those for
which a monomial is nonzero exactly when the corresponding character vanishes identically on
F. This is the coordinate-free description of the stratum attached to F; for a regular cone,
affineConeOrbit_eq_orbit identifies it with the torus orbit of distinguishedPoint hi F.
Instances For
Membership in an affine-cone orbit is characterized by nonvanishing of precisely the monomials whose characters vanish on the associated face.
In regular coordinates, a point belongs to the orbit of F exactly when its ray coordinate
is zero precisely at the rays contained in F.
Under any extending-basis chart, the intrinsic orbit of F is the inverse image of the
coordinate stratum attached to the rays of F.
Intrinsic consequences #
Every face-indexed affine-cone orbit is nonempty.
The orbit strata form a partition: every affine complex point belongs to the orbit of a unique face.
Every affine-cone orbit is locally closed in the monomial-embedding topology.
The closure of the orbit of F consists of the points whose coordinates at all rays of F
vanish; coordinates at other rays may vanish as well.
The closure of the orbit of a ray is the coordinate hyperplane on which the coordinate of that ray vanishes.
A point of the orbit of G lies in the closure of the orbit of F exactly when F is a
face of G.
The closure of the orbit stratum of F is the union of the strata indexed by faces
containing F.
Face inclusion is the reverse closure order on affine-cone orbits.
In an extending-basis chart, the orbit of a face is homeomorphic to the nonzero ray coordinates outside the face, together with all complementary torus coordinates. This gives the affine orbit its expected product topology without choosing a topology on a new carrier.
Instances For
The first orbit coordinates are exactly the nonzero ray coordinates of the affine chart.
The complementary torus coordinates are unchanged in the orbit chart.
The inverse orbit chart reconstructs the underlying affine point from its coordinates.
Ambient coordinates on an affine orbit: retain exactly the nonzero ray coordinates outside the face, and view all torus coordinates as complex numbers.
Instances For
The first ambient coordinates are the nonzero ray coordinates of the cone chart.
The second ambient coordinates are the complex values of the torus coordinates.
The ambient orbit chart ranges over pairs whose coordinates are all nonzero.
The retained coordinates realize the affine orbit as an open subset of a complex vector space. In particular, their topology is the subspace topology inherited from the affine chart.
The complex charted-space structure on an affine orbit, using its complementary nonzero ray coordinates and torus coordinates. The orbit retains the topology induced from the affine chart.
Instances For
Every chart of the orbit charted space is the ambient coordinate map.
The target of each orbit chart is the locus of nonzero ambient coordinates.
Every affine-cone orbit is a complex manifold, modeled on the nonzero ray directions outside its face and the complementary torus directions.
The ambient orbit coordinates are holomorphic for the charted-space structure they induce.
The inclusion of an affine-cone orbit into the affine analytic chart is holomorphic. In regular coordinates it inserts zero in precisely the ray coordinates belonging to the face and retains all other coordinates.
A map into an affine-cone orbit is holomorphic when its composite with the inclusion into the affine analytic chart is holomorphic. This is the elimination principle for the orbit's regular coordinate chart.
The strata are the torus orbits #
The distinguished point of the stratum of a face F: the complex point taking the value 1
on the monomials of the characters that vanish on F, and 0 on all other monomials. It lies in
affineConeOrbit hi F, and for the smallest face it is the distinguished point default of the
dense torus.
Instances For
The distinguished point of F takes the value 1 on the monomial of a character vanishing on
F, and 0 on the monomial of any other character.
The distinguished point of a face lies in the stratum of that face.
Every character of the dual semigroup vanishes on the smallest face of σ, its lineality
space, so the distinguished point of that face is the distinguished point default of the dense
torus.
The torus preserves every stratum: translating a point by a torus point multiplies its value on each monomial by a unit, so it does not change which monomials vanish.
In the chart of an extending basis, the ray coordinates of the distinguished point of F
vanish at the rays of F and equal 1 at all other rays.
In the chart of an extending basis, the torus coordinates of the distinguished point of every
face are equal to 1.
The stratum of a face F of a regular cone is a single torus orbit, namely the orbit of the
distinguished point of F.
The torus orbit of any point of the stratum of a face F of a regular cone is that whole
stratum.
The orbit–cone correspondence for the affine chart of a regular cone: the faces of the cone
correspond bijectively to the torus orbits in its complex points, a face F corresponding to the
orbit of its distinguished point, which is the stratum affineConeOrbit hi F. By
affineConeOrbit_subset_closure_iff, the correspondence reverses the closure order.
Instances For
The orbit–cone correspondence sends a face to the orbit of its distinguished point.
The torus orbit corresponding to a face is its stratum.
Under the orbit–cone correspondence, face inclusion is the reverse of orbit closure inclusion.
The face corresponding to the torus orbit of a point is the face whose stratum contains it.
The stabilizer of the distinguished point of a face F of a regular cone is the subtorus of
torus points that are trivial on the sublattice of characters vanishing on F.
