Description
This was requested by Ursula Whitcher on sage-support. She adds:
I'm playing with a family of plane curves with rational coefficients in the complex projective plane. So rational or complex numbers would be enough for me to test examples. In a perfect world I'd be able to specify a family using rational functions of arbitrary constants (something like a x^2 + b/(a-1) y^2), and compute the projective dual in terms of those constants.
A good place to start in implementing this could be http://www.emilvolcheck.com/dual.ps

I guess it could be reviewed. It could be useful as it is. I had some plans to do something better but someone stole all my time... There is no particular reason to stick to hypersurfaces, it was just meant as an initial simplification.

Nor is there any particular reason to stick to varieties over Q.

- Status changed from new to needs_review
turning that into needs review
to require feedback:
what is the class of rings over which this can currently work ?

The attached patch implements this for (reduced and irreducible) hypersurfaces over the rationals. I intend to generalize this.
I use Grobner bases and elimination. Resultants might be faster so I might switch to that approach.
If you plug in a variety I think the dual should be reduced. I'm not sure exactly what the scheme structure of the output is at the moment.
Something related to think about for the general case: given a subscheme X of projective space, what should the dual of X be?
I will look at the approach described in the attached paper. When the dual is a hypersurface and has smaller degree than "expected", that approach seems to be better than the one used at the moment.
