Abstract: Let p_1, ..., p_N in R^D be unknown vectors and let Omega subseteq {1,...,N}^{ imes 2}. Assume that the inner products p_i^T p_j are fixed for all (i,j) in Omega. Do these inner product constraints (up to simultaneous rotation of all vectors) determine p_1, ..., p_N uniquely? Here we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the uniqueness of p_1, ...,p_N (i.e., global completability) which is applicable to a large class of practically relevant sets Omega. Moreover, given Omega, we show that the condition for global completability is universal in the sense that for almost all vectors p_1, ...,p_N in R^D the completability of p_1, ...,p_N only depends on Omega and not on the specific values of p_i^T p_j$ for (i,j) in Omega. This work was motivated by practical considerations, namely, self-consistent quantum tomography.
