Abstract

This paper is a direct continuation of the paper “Duality for dyadic intervals” by the same authors, and can be considered as its second part. Dyadic rationals are rationals whose denominator is a power of 2. Dyadic triangles and dyadic polygons are, respectively, defined as the intersections with the dyadic plane of a triangle or polygon in the real plane whose vertices lie in the dyadic plane. The one-dimensional analogues are dyadic intervals. Algebraically, dyadic polygons carry the structure of a commutative, entropic and idempotent groupoid under the binary operation of arithmetic mean. The first paper dealt with the structure of finitely generated subgroupoids of the dyadic line, which were shown to be isomorphic to dyadic intervals. Then a duality between the class of dyadic intervals and the class of certain subgroupoids of the dyadic unit square was described. The present paper extends the results of the first paper, provides some characterizations of dyadic triangles, and describes a duality for the class of dyadic triangles. As in the case of intervals, the duality is given by an infinite dualizing (schizophrenic) object, the dyadic unit interval. The dual spaces are certain subgroupoids of the dyadic unit cube, considered as (commutative, idempotent and entropic) groupoids with additional constant operations.
