The dual of an object $$\mathbf x$$, denoted by $$\mathbf x^*$$, is given by

$$\mathbf x^* = \mathbf{\tilde x} \mathbin{\unicode{x27D1}} {\large\unicode{x1d7d9}}$$ .

The following table lists the duals for the geometric objects in the 5D conformal geometric algebra $$\mathcal G_{4,1}$$.

Type Definition Dual
Flat point $$\mathbf p = p_x \mathbf e_{15} + p_y \mathbf e_{25} + p_z \mathbf e_{35} + p_w \mathbf e_{45}$$ $$\mathbf p^* = p_w \mathbf e_{321} - p_x \mathbf e_{235} - p_y \mathbf e_{315} - p_z \mathbf e_{125}$$

Round point $$\mathbf a = a_x \mathbf e_1 + a_y \mathbf e_2 + a_z \mathbf e_3 + a_w \mathbf e_4 + a_u \mathbf e_5$$ $$\mathbf a^* = -a_w \mathbf e_{1234} + a_x \mathbf e_{4235} + a_y \mathbf e_{4315} + a_z \mathbf e_{4125} - a_u \mathbf e_{3215}$$
