The topic this semester will be Nonnegative and PSD Ranks of matrices. We will begin by discussing the article "Lifts of Convex Sets and Cone Factorizations" by Gouveia, Parrilo and Thomas, which makes the connection between factoring slack matrices of polytopes and finding computationally efficient representations of polytopes.
