Evgueni Tevelev authored a study of projective dual varieties, which encode the tangent hyperplanes of a projective variety. His account develops reflexivity, contact loci and links with discriminants and secant varieties. The viewpoint turns tangency into a new geometric object, allowing properties of the original variety to be studied through its family of tangent hyperplanes.[ref]
