Abstract

The Bell experiment is a random game with two binary outcomes whose statistical correlation is given by E0(Θ)=cos(Θ)E_0(\Theta)=-\cos(\Theta), where Θ[π,π)\Theta \in [-\pi, \pi) is an angular input that parameterizes the game setting. The correlation function E0(Θ)E_0(\Theta) belongs to the affine space H{E(Θ)}{\cal H} \equiv \left\{E(\Theta)\right\} of all continuous and differentiable periodic functions E(Θ)E(\Theta) that obey the parity symmetry constraints E(Θ)=E(Θ)E(-\Theta)=E(\Theta) and E(πΘ)=E(Θ)E(\pi-\Theta)=-E(\Theta) with E(0)=1E(0)=-1 and, furthermore, are strictly monotonically increasing in the interval [0,π)[0, \pi). Here we show how to build explicitly local statistical models of hidden variables for random games with two binary outcomes whose correlation function E(Θ)E(\Theta) belongs to the affine space H{\cal H}. This family of games includes the Bell experiment as a particular case. Within this family of random games, the Bell inequality can be violated beyond the Tsirelson bound of 222\sqrt{2} up to the maximally allowed algebraic value of 4. In fact, we show that the amount of violation of the Bell inequality is a purely geometric feature.
