Quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs) are a highly expressive class of nonconvex optimization problems. While QCQPs are NP-hard in general, they admit a natural convex relaxation via the standard semidefinite program (SDP) relaxation. In this paper we study when the convex hull of the epigraph of a QCQP coincides with the projected epigraph of the SDP relaxation. We present a sufficient condition for convex hull exactness and show that this condition is further necessary under an additional geometric assumption. The sufficient condition is based on geometric properties of, the cone of convex Lagrange multipliers, and its relatives ₁ and ^.
