Abstract: Let $L$ be a degree $2$ Galois extension of the field $K$ and $M$ an $nimesn$ matrix with coefficients in $L$. Let $langle,angle:L^{n}imes{L}^{n}oL$ be the sesquilinear form associated to the involution $sigma:LoL$ fixing $K$. This sesquilinear form defines the numerical range $mathrmNum(M)$ of any $nimesn$ matrix over $L$. In this paper we study the convexity of $mathrmNum(M)$ (under certain assumptions on $K$ and/or $M$). Many of the results are for ordered fields.
