Abstract: Convex cones in a vector space are convex subsets invariant under positive homotheties of the vector space. There is a natural notion of duality between convex cones in dual vector spaces. I will present some constructions in hyperbolic geometry which are better explained in terms of duality between convex cones -- the Dirichlet fundamental domain and the convex hull of the limit set of a Kleinian group.
