Abstract
The biduality and reflexivity theorems are known to hold for projective varieties defined over fields of characteristic zero, and to fail in positive characteristic. In this article, we construct a notion of reflexivity and biduality in positive characteristic by generalizing the ordinary tangent space to the notion of -tangent spaces. The ordinary reflexivity theory can be recovered as the special case , of our theory. Several varieties that are not ordinary reflexive or bidual become reflexive in our extended theory.
