N2 - In this chapter we introduce the Cox ring and, more generally, the Cox sheaf and its geometric counterpart, the characteristic space. In addition, algebraic and geometric aspects are discussed. Section 1.1 is devoted to commutative algebras graded by monoids. In Section 1.2, we recall the correspondence between actions of quasitori (also called diagonalizable groups) on affine varieties and affine algebras graded by abelian groups and provide the necessary background on good quotients. Section 1.3 is a first step toward constructing Cox rings.
