The complex manifold of algebraic toric complex points #
The complex points of the scheme of a regular fan carry the affine-chart topology, not the Zariski topology. Pulling the atlas of the analytic realization back along the chartwise comparison makes this carrier a complex manifold. The pulled-back structure agrees locally with the independently defined regular affine-chart structures for any extending basis and finite generating family: every algebraic affine chart inclusion is a local biholomorphism.
The comparison is a biholomorphism, and the scheme-theoretic map on complex points induced by a fan morphism is holomorphic. The comparison intertwines this map with the analytic toric map.

The complex atlas on algebraic complex points of a regular fan, pulled back from its analytic realization. Its affine charts have the regular-coordinate complex structures.
Instances For
The algebraic complex points of a regular fan form a complex manifold.
The algebraic–analytic comparison is a biholomorphism for the affine-chart complex structures, at every smoothness order.
Instances For
The biholomorphism is the existing chartwise algebraic–analytic comparison.
The inverse biholomorphism is the inverse chartwise comparison.
Every algebraic affine chart inclusion is a local biholomorphism for the independently defined regular-cone structure of any extending basis and finite generating family. In particular, its local inverse is holomorphic, so these chart inclusions, which cover all algebraic complex points, characterize the pulled-back complex structure in both directions.
A morphism of regular fans acts holomorphically on the complex points of their schemes.
