Abstract
Given a classical spins system, namely, a set of spin sites of maximum spins inv-dimensional space along with a Hamiltonian defined on the possible spin configurations, a general method is described for constructing a large class of dual lattices of the same spin. The method utilizes the commutative group structure with which the configuration space is endowed.
