Projective space

Dual projective space

The dual projective space of an -dimensional abstract projective space has -dimensional subspaces of as its -dimensional subspaces, and the containment relation is reversed, #m/def/geo e.g. hyperplanes of are the points of . By the principle of duality, any theorem stated in terms of incidence, subspaces, and containment which follows from the axioms of an abstract projective space also hold for its dual .1
