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 ≤ √cn, 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.
