How to formulate principle of duality in projective geometry in terms of category theory?

72 Views Asked by At

In projective geometry, the principle of duality states that any theorem that holds for an incidence structure $(P, L, I)$, where $P$ are the points, $L$ are the lines and $I \subseteq P \times L$ is the incidence relation, also holds for the dual incidence structure $(L, P, I^*)$, where $I^*$ is the converse relation of $I$.

In category theory, the principle of duality states that a categorical theorem has a dual, which holds for the dual category obtained by reversing all the arrows.

How can the first one be specified in such a way that it derives from the second one?
