Compactness of the analytic realization of a regular fan #
A nonempty regular fan has compact analytic realization exactly when it is complete, that is,
when its cones cover the ambient real vector space V.
Both directions read the absolute values of characters on the dense torus. For a torus point t,
the numbers -log ‖t m‖ are additive in the character m, so they are the values at a single
point w of V of the real extensions of the characters
(TauCeti.Toric.IsIntegralLattice.exists_realCharacter_apply_eq). When w lies in a cone σ,
every character of the dual semigroup of σ has absolute value at most 1 at t, so t lies in
the image of the compact part of the chart of σ where all monomials are bounded by 1
(TauCeti.Toric.isCompact_setOf_forall_norm_apply_single_le_one). For a complete fan these
finitely many compact sets cover the dense torus, and hence its closure, the whole realization.
Conversely, given w in V, the torus points t k with ‖t k m‖ = exp (-k ⟨m, w⟩) have a
cluster point in a compact realization, which lies in the chart of some cone σ. Near that
point every character of the dual semigroup of σ is bounded, which forces 0 ≤ ⟨m, w⟩ for
each of them, and a regular cone is cut out by its dual semigroup
(TauCeti.Toric.IsRegularCone.mem_iff_forall_realCharacter_nonneg), so w ∈ σ.
The converse needs the fan to be nonempty: the realization of the empty fan is empty, hence compact, but the empty fan is not complete.

For every point v of V there is a torus point at which every integral character m has
absolute value exp (-⟨m, v⟩).
Conversely, every torus point t has a point w of V at which every integral character
m takes the value -log ‖t m‖.
The part of the chart of a cone σ where every monomial has absolute value at most 1 is a
compact subset of the realization.
For a finite generating family g of the dual semigroup of a cone σ, the part of the chart
of σ where the monomials of g have absolute value at most R is a compact subset of the
realization.
For a finite generating family g of the dual semigroup of a cone σ, the part of the chart
of σ where the monomials of g have absolute value less than R is open in the realization.
A torus point at which every character of the dual semigroup of a cone σ has absolute value
at most 1 lies in the part of the chart of σ where every monomial has absolute value at
most 1.
The analytic realization of a complete regular fan is compact.
Let t k be torus points at which every integral character m has absolute value
exp (-k ⟨m, w⟩). If they cluster at a point of the chart of a cone σ, then w ∈ σ.
A nonempty regular fan with compact analytic realization is complete.
A nonempty regular fan has compact analytic realization exactly when it is complete. The
nonemptiness hypothesis is necessary: the realization of the empty fan is empty, hence compact,
while the empty fan is not complete. See
TauCeti.Toric.Fan.compactSpace_analyticRealization_iff_isEmpty_or_isComplete for the form
without it.
A regular fan has compact analytic realization exactly when it has no cones or is complete.
The two cases are exclusive, since a complete fan is nonempty
(TauCeti.Toric.Fan.IsComplete.nonempty_cones): fans with no cones, such as the empty subfan of
any fan, are exactly the fans with compact realization that are not complete.
