摘要：

For a four-dimensional vector space it is possible to define independently of a metric the notion of a dual operator acting on bivectors. It is shown that the map which takes a conformal class of metrics together with an orientation to the induced dual operator is an isomorphism. For each metric signature type, this map is equivalent to an isomorphism of certain homogeneous spaces.
