The topology of the coordinate-free complex torus #
For an additive commutative group N, the complex torus ComplexTorus N is the group of
ℂˣ-valued additive characters of N →+ ℤ. This file equips it with the topology of pointwise
convergence: the coarsest topology for which the evaluation of every integral character is
continuous. Any free presentation e : (N →+ ℤ) ≃+ (ι →₀ ℤ) identifies the torus with
(ℂˣ)^ι as a topological group, for an arbitrary index type ι. Its ambient coordinates in
ℂ^ι are continuous and have range the locus where every coordinate is nonzero. When ι is
finite, these ambient coordinates form an open embedding.
The torus is a Hausdorff topological group for every N, and every additive homomorphism of
such groups induces a continuous homomorphism of tori. When N is a finitely generated free
ℤ-module, the torus is also second countable and locally compact.
Character evaluations are continuous by the topology of pointwise convergence. For a chosen
presentation, the Laurent-monomial formula expresses each evaluation of the inverse coordinate
map as a finite product of powers, proving continuous_complexTorusCoordinates_symm.
