For a nonzero fractional ideal $\mathfrak{b}$ of a number field, its trace-dual lattice is the fractional idealThe equality follows from the definition of the inverse different and invertibility of fractional ideals. Under the positive metric on the Minkowski embedding of a number field, the Euclidean dual lattice of $j(\mathfrak{b})$ is $\overline{j({\mathfrak{b}}^{\vee })}$: coordinatewise complex conjugation converts the positive inner product into the trace pairing. This assertion does not require that conjugation preserve the number field itself.
