The orthogonality dimension of a graph over ℝ is the smallest integer d for which one can assign to every vertex a nonzero vector in ℝ^d such that every two adjacent vertices receive orthogonal vectors. For an integer d, the d-Ortho-Dim_ℝ problem asks to decide whether the orthogonality dimension of a given graph over ℝ is at most d. We prove that for every integer d ≥ 3, the d-Ortho-Dim_ℝ problem parameterized by the vertex cover number k admits a kernel with O(k^{d-1}) vertices and bit-size O(k^{d-1} ⋅ log k). We complement this result by a nearly matching lower bound, showing that for any ε > 0, the problem admits no kernel of bit-size O(k^{d-1-ε}) unless NP ⊆ coNP/poly. We further study the kernelizability of orthogonality dimension problems in additional settings, including over general fields and under various structural parameterizations.
