Proof.

We will prove first that ℒ​f∨=(ℒ​f)−1{\mathcal{L}}f^{\vee}=({\mathcal{L}}f)^{-1}. Fix C∈Π⁡(f)C\in\Pi(f) and set C′=ℒ​f​(C)C^{\prime}={\mathcal{L}}f(C). Let y0∈Mℝy_{0}\in M_{\mathbb{R}} such that C=Cy0C=C_{y_{0}} and let u0∈ri⁡(C)u_{0}\in\operatorname{ri}(C). Hence u0∈Cy0=∂f∨​(y0)u_{0}\in C_{y_{0}}=\partial f^{\vee}(y_{0}) and so y0∈∂f⁡(u0)=C′y_{0}\in\partial f(u_{0})=C^{\prime} by Proposition 3.21 and Lemma 3.28. Hence

ℒ​f∨​(ℒ​f​(C))=ℒ​f∨​(C′)=⋂x∈C′∂f∨​(x)⊂∂f∨​(y0)=C.{\mathcal{L}}f^{\vee}({\mathcal{L}}f(C))={\mathcal{L}}f^{\vee}(C^{\prime})=\bigcap_{x\in C^{\prime}}\partial f^{\vee}(x)\subset\partial f^{\vee}(y_{0})=C.

On the other hand, let x0∈ri⁡(C′)x_{0}\in\operatorname{ri}(C^{\prime}). In particular, x0∈∂f⁡(u0)x_{0}\in\partial f(u_{0}) and so u0∈∂f∨​(x0)=ℒ​f∨​(C′)u_{0}\in\partial f^{\vee}(x_{0})={\mathcal{L}}f^{\vee}(C^{\prime}) for all u0∈Cu_{0}\in C. It implies

C⊂ℒ​f∨​(C′)=ℒ​f∨​(ℒ​f​(C)).C\subset{\mathcal{L}}f^{\vee}(C^{\prime})={\mathcal{L}}f^{\vee}({\mathcal{L}}f(C)).

Thus ℒ​f∨​(ℒ​f​(C))=C{\mathcal{L}}f^{\vee}({\mathcal{L}}f(C))=C and applying the same argument to f∨f^{\vee} we conclude that ℒ​f∨=(ℒ​f)−1{\mathcal{L}}f^{\vee}=({\mathcal{L}}f)^{-1} and that ℒ​f{\mathcal{L}}f is bijective.

Now we have to prove that ℒ{\mathcal{L}} is a duality between Π⁡(f)\Pi(f) and Π⁡(f∨)\Pi(f^{\vee}). Let C,D∈Π⁡(f)C,D\in\Pi(f) such that C⊂DC\subset D. Clearly, ℒ​f​(C)⊃ℒ​f​(D){\mathcal{L}}f(C)\supset{\mathcal{L}}f(D). The reciprocal follows by applying the same argument to f∨f^{\vee}. The fact that CC and ℒ​f​(C){\mathcal{L}}f(C) lie in orthogonal affine spaces has already been shown during the proof of Lemma 3.28 above, see (3.30). ∎
