?? so ... for an affine toric variety, the tensor product of toric quasicoherent sheaves is clearly just day convolution wrt the symmetric monoidal structure on the corresponding commutative monoid (as one object category) .... being somewhat careless about opposite categories here ... and this day convolution can be thought of as the extra left adjoint of an essential geometric morphism ..... ???? ..... ?? meaning essentially just a functor, namely that tensor product functor on the one-object category ... ??? ....

i often find the n-category cafe somewhat annoying... perhaps for more than one reason, but overwhelmingly for just one reason... the same reason that i tend to find any other participatory writing forum annoying, namely that it's unfairly stacked against me because the medium of communication is writing rather than talking...
anyway, for this reason i sometimes go for long periods without reading it, and sometimes miss interesting discussions that way... and i seem to have just found one that i missed that looks like it might be interesting... on the langlands program... so i want to make a pretty serious effort to go back and read it and try to understand it pretty soon...
there's also "math overflow"... one of my problems with that... basically just a special case of the already mentioned problem... is that by the time i manage to write up a question in presentable form, it usually requires/causes me to already pretty much figure out the answer...
in principle it ought to be possible to overcome that problem to some extent...
