Duality and tangles of set separations

Combinatorics 2021-09-28 v2

Abstract

Applications of tangles of connectivity systems suggest a duality between these, in which for two sets XX and Y ⁣Y\! the elements xx of XX map to subsets YxY_x of Y ⁣Y\!, and the elements yy of Y ⁣Y\! map to subsets XyX_y of XX, so that xXyx\in X_y if and only if yYxy\in Y_x for all xXx\in X and yY ⁣y\in Y\!. We explore this duality, and relate the tangles arising from the dual systems to each other.
