| contents | We present a geometric characterisation of strongly-local models in the bipartite Bell scenario with three measurement settings per site and binary outcomes, i.e.\ the (3,3,2,2) case. Restricting attention to indistinguishable sites, we introduce a three-dimensional mixed-moment space in which the mixed moments are calculated under off-diagonal measurement settings.
In this reduced representation, the strongly-local region assumes the remarkably simple form of a regular tetrahedron - the 'pyramid'. We prove that only three independent linear inequalities are required to characterise this region. We call them the pyramid inequalities that separate strongly-local ($\mathcal{SL}$) models from their complement, non-strongly-local ($\mathcal{\overline{SL}}$) models. We also clarify the relation between the symmetry-reduced pyramid representation and the full (3,3,2,2) Bell polytope in the 36-dimensional conditional-probability space, which possesses 684 facet-defining inequalities. The reduction from 684 to three reflects normalisation, symmetry reduction, and projection to the mixed-moment space.
In the pyramid representation, the hierarchy $\mathcal{SL} \subsetneq \mathcal{Q} \subsetneq \mathcal{NS}$ appears geometrically as a tetrahedron embedded in a somewhat larger curved body of quantum models, $\mathcal{Q}$, which in turn is embedded in a cube of no-signalling models, $\mathcal{NS}$. The qualitative and quantitative advantages of the pyramid representation over the standard CSHS representation for the (2,2,2,2) case are discussed. |
