Abstract
Let be a sum of squares. The Gram spectrahedron of is a compact, convex set that parametrizes all sum of squares representations of . Let be a face of its Gram spectrahedron. We are interested in upper bounds for the dimension of . We show that this upper bound can be determined combinatorially. As it turns out, if the degree is large enough, a face realizing this bound, is a face of a Gram spectrahedron such that the form is singular. Thus we are also interested in finding better bounds whenever the form is smooth.
