Naturality of the algebraic–analytic toric comparison #
A fan morphism acts on algebraic complex points by composition with its morphism of fan schemes. On an affine chart this is pullback along the map of dual semigroups, exactly as for the analytic toric map. Consequently the algebraic–analytic comparison commutes with toric maps. This identifies the actual scheme-theoretic map on complex points, rather than defining it by conjugating an analytic map.
The map on algebraic complex points is continuous for the topology glued from affine charts, even for nonregular fans. Identity and composition agree with those of scheme morphisms.

On an affine chart, the algebraic map on complex points pulls back along the map of dual semigroups into the least target cone. This holds without regularity of either fan.
The scheme-theoretic map on complex points is continuous for the glued monomial topologies, including for nonregular fans.
The algebraic–analytic comparison commutes with a toric map of regular fans.
The inverse algebraic–analytic comparison also commutes with toric maps.
