3 results for spectrahedra

We study the structure of the set of algebraic curvature operators satisfying a sectional curvature bound under the light of the emerging field of Convex Algebraic Geometry. More precisely, we determine in which dimensions nn this convex semialgebraic set is a spectrahedron or a spectrahedral shadow; in particular, fo…
