Abstract
Baker-Beynon duality theory yields a concrete representation of any finitely generated projective Abelian lattice-ordered group G in terms of piecewise linear homogeneous functions with integer coefficients, defined over the support |E| of a fan Σ. A unimodular fan A over |S| determines a Schauder basis of G: its elements are the minimal positive free generators of the pointwise ordered group of A-linear support functions. Conversely, a Schauder basis H of G determines a unimodular fan over |Σ|: its maximal cones are the domains of linearity of the elements of H. The main purpose of this paper is to give various representation-free characterisations of Schauder bases. The latter, jointly with the De Concini-Procesi starring technique, will be used to give novel characterisations of finitely generated projective Abelian lattice ordered groups. For instance, G is finitely generated projective iff it can be presented by a purely lattice-theoretical word.
