Simplicial faces of the set of correlation matrices
Abstract
This paper concerns the facial geometry of the set of n × n correlation matrices. The main result states that almost every set of r vertices generates a simplicial face, provided that r ≤ c n, where c is an absolute constant. This bound is qualitatively sharp because the set of correlation matrices has no simplicial face generated by more than 2n vertices.
