Is there a simple description of the the convex hull of all the pairs of n$n$ by n$n$ matrices (A,B)$(A,B)$ such that AA^t+BB^t=A^tA+B^tB=I ? This$$AA^t+BB^t=A^tA+B^tB=I$$ This is a convex set in dimension 2n^2$2n^2$, and I am hoping for a simple characterization of the pairs of matrices that belong to it.
