The torus action on the affine chart of a toric cone #
The coordinate-free complex torus ComplexTorus N of an integral lattice N consists of the
invertible characters of the character lattice N →+ ℤ. The dual semigroup of a toric cone σ
is a submonoid of that lattice, so the torus acts on the complex points of the affine toric scheme
of σ by restricting characters to the dual semigroup and multiplying values on monomials.
In the affine analytic chart attached to an integral basis extending the primitive ray generators
of σ, the action is coordinatewise multiplication: a torus point multiplies the coordinate
indexed by a basis vector by its value on the coordinate functional of that vector. The orbit of
the distinguished point, at which every monomial takes the value 1, is exactly the locus where
all ray coordinates are nonzero; the torus acts freely on it, so it is a copy of the torus, and it
is open and dense in the chart. This is the dense torus of the affine toric variety of σ.

The action in the chart of an extending basis #
A torus point multiplies the coordinate of the chart indexed by a ray by its value on the coordinate functional of the primitive generator of that ray.
A torus point multiplies the coordinate of the chart indexed by a complementary basis vector by its value on the coordinate functional of that vector.
The distinguished point has all chart coordinates equal to 1.
The dense torus of the chart #
The torus acts freely on the distinguished point of the affine chart: the coordinate functionals of an extending basis lie in the dual semigroup and determine a torus point.
The torus orbit of the distinguished point is the locus of the affine chart where every ray coordinate is nonzero: a point with nonzero ray coordinates is the translate of the distinguished point by the torus point with those basis coordinates.
Every invertible character of the dual semigroup of a cone with an extending basis is the restriction of a torus point: the torus orbit of the distinguished point is its orbit under all invertible characters of the dual semigroup.
The dense torus of the affine chart is open for the monomial-embedding topology of any finite generating family of the dual semigroup.
The dense torus of the affine chart is dense for the monomial-embedding topology of any finite generating family of the dual semigroup.
The affine chart of the zero cone #
An extending basis identifies the coordinate-free complex torus with the affine chart of the zero cone, for the monomial-embedding topology of any finite generating family. The identification sends a torus point to its translate of the distinguished point, independently of these choices.
