The complex torus action on a fan realization #
The coordinate-free complex torus acts on each affine chart by multiplication of monomial values. Restriction to a face commutes with this action, so the chart actions glue to an action on the analytic realization. The chart inclusions are equivariant, and the action is jointly continuous for the monomial-embedding topology.
