Alexander duality is a fundamental theorem in algebraic topology, specifically in the study of topological spaces and their homological properties. Named after mathematician James W. Alexander, the duality provides a relationship between the topology of a space and the topology of its complement. In its most basic form, Alexander duality applies to a locally finite CW complex, particularly when considering a subcomplex (or a subset) of a sphere.
