  • Duality (mathematics)
    Duality (mathematics)
    In mathematics, a duality, generally speaking, translates concepts, theorems or mathematical structures into other concepts, theorems or structures, in a one-to-one fashion, often by means of an involution operation: if the dual of A is B, then the dual of B is A. As involutions sometimes have...

    • Dual (category theory)
      Dual (category theory)
      In category theory, a branch of mathematics, duality is a correspondence between properties of a category C and so-called dual properties of the opposite category Cop...

    • Duality (order theory)
      Duality (order theory)
      In the mathematical area of order theory, every partially ordered set P gives rise to a dual partially ordered set which is often denoted by Pop or Pd. This dual order Pop is defined to be the set with the inverse order, i.e. x ≤ y holds in Pop if and only if y ≤ x holds in P...

    • Duality (projective geometry)
      Duality (projective geometry)
      A striking feature of projective planes is the "symmetry" of the roles played by points and lines in the definitions and theorems, and duality is the formalization of this metamathematical concept. There are two approaches to the subject of duality, one through language and the other a more...

    • Dual problem
      Dual problem
      In constrained optimization, it is often possible to convert the primal problem to a dual form, which is termed a dual problem. Usually dual problem refers to the Lagrangian dual problem but other dual problems are used, for example, the Wolfe dual problem and the Fenchel dual problem...

  • Dualism
    Dualism
    Dualism denotes a state of two parts. The term 'dualism' was originally coined to denote co-eternal binary opposition, a meaning that is preserved in metaphysical and philosophical duality discourse but has been diluted in general or common usages. Dualism can refer to moral dualism, Dualism (from...

    In mechanical engineering, many terms are associated into pairs called duals. A dual of a relationship is formed by interchanging force and deformation in an expression.Here is a partial list of mechanical dualities:...

Physics

  • AdS/CFT correspondence
    AdS/CFT correspondence
    In physics, the AdS/CFT correspondence , sometimes called the Maldacena duality, is the conjectured equivalence between a string theory and gravity defined on one space, and a quantum field theory without gravity defined on the conformal boundary of this space, whose dimension is lower by one or more...

    Mirror symmetry
    In physics and mathematics, mirror symmetry is a relation that can exist between two Calabi-Yau manifolds. It happens, usually for two such six-dimensional manifolds, that the shapes may look very different geometrically, but nevertheless they are equivalent if they are employed as hidden...

  • S-duality
    S-duality
    In theoretical physics, S-duality is an equivalence of two quantum field theories or string theories. An S-duality transformation maps states and vacua with coupling constant g in one theory to states and vacua with coupling constant 1/g in the dual theory...

  • T-duality
    T-duality
    T-duality is a symmetry of quantum field theories with differing classical descriptions, of which the relationship between small and large distances in various string theories is a special case. Discussion of the subject originated in a paper by T. S. Buscher and was further developed by Martin...

  • U-duality
    U-duality
    In physics, U-duality is a symmetry of string theory or M-theory combining S-duality and T-duality transformations. The term is most often met in the context of the "U-duality group" of M-theory as defined on a particular background space . This is the union of all the S- and T-dualities...

  • Wave–particle duality
    Wave–particle duality
    Wave–particle duality postulates that all particles exhibit both wave and particle properties. A central concept of quantum mechanics, this duality addresses the inability of classical concepts like "particle" and "wave" to fully describe the behavior of quantum-scale objects...
