Duality and tangles of set separations

Publication date 15 November 2023

Abstract: Applications of tangles of connectivity systems suggest a duality between these, in which for two sets

X

and

Y!

the elements

x

of

X

map to subsets

Y_{x}

of

Y!

, and the elements

y

of

Y!

map to subsets

X_{y}

of

X

, so that

x i n X_{y}

if and only if

y i n Y_{x}

for all

x i n X

and

y i n Y!

. We explore this duality, and relate the tangles arising from the dual systems to each other.
