This entire article is completely vacuous and artificial.
The definition (if it can even be called one) given states that:
This could describe any of a number of different mathematical operations. An attempt is made to be more specific by characterizing dualities as involutions, but some of the items listed below are not involutions (the dual of a linear space for example). It seems like the only thing that the examples have in common is that they contain the word "dual".
I have never seen the word "dual" or the concept of duality itself defined or discussed in mathematical literature. This article certainly doesn't cite any instances of such discussions. In fact, the word is actually used in many different ways in mathematics. Thus to try to define duality as a single mathematical concept is misleading and incorrect.
I would like to suggest deleting this article or changing the title to "Mathematical terms containing the word dual". 68.89.168.74 (talk · contribs) Text copied from article talk page. ➨ ЯEDVEЯS has wasted eight of nine lives 11:50, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
