The torus action on a regular affine chart is holomorphic #
The coordinate-free complex torus ComplexTorus N acts on the complex points of the affine toric
scheme of a toric cone σ: a torus point t multiplies the value of a complex point on the
monomial of m in the dual semigroup by the character value t m. For a regular cone, the torus
carries the complex structure of a free presentation of its character lattice and the affine chart
carries the complex structure of an extending basis. This file proves that the action map
ComplexTorus N × U_σ → U_σ is holomorphic for these structures.
Since a map into the affine chart is holomorphic exactly when its values on all monomials are, it
suffices that (t, x) ↦ t m * x(m) is holomorphic, which holds because character evaluation is
holomorphic on the torus and monomials are holomorphic on the chart.

The coordinate-free complex torus acts holomorphically on the complex points of the affine toric scheme of a regular cone. The torus carries the complex structure of a free presentation of its character lattice, and the affine chart that of an integral basis extending the primitive ray generators.
