Given vectors $v_1, v_2 ... v_n \in \mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying $||v_i||_2 = 1$ for all $i$ and $0 \leq\langle\ v_i,v_j\rangle \leq 1$ for all $i, j$. (Not all of them are 0 or 1). Does there always exist a rotation matrix which when applied to these vectors bring them to the positive orthant? Clearly the fact is true for n = 2 and 3. Does it generalize to higher dimensions?

FYI, Not a HW Problem.

  • Define what you mean by a rotation matrix. – amd May 24 '19 at 04:37
  • @amd, I mean successive applications of matrix of the kind as given in, https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/197772/generalized-rotation-matrix-in-n-dimensional-space-around-n-2-unit-vector – avocado May 24 '19 at 07:46
