Review text

We prove that every pair of dual oriented matroids can be represented in complementary subspheres of an arrangement of pseudospheres. This combines the Topological Representation Theorem for oriented matroids of Lawrence with Bland's construction of dual oriented matroids from pairs of orthogonal subspaces in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\).
