We consider the problem of exact low-rank matrix completion from a geometric viewpoint: given a partially filled matrixM, we keep the positions of specified and unspecified entries fixed, and study the minimal completion rank. If the entries of the matrix are complex and the known entries are chosen randomly according to a continuous distribution, then for a fixed pattern of locations of specified and unspecified entries, there is a unique minimum completion rank which occurs with probability one. We call this rank the generic completion rank. Over the real numbers there can be multiple ranks that occur with positive probability; we call them typical completion ranks. We introduce these notions formally, and provide a number of inequalities and exact results on typical and generic ranks for different families of patterns of known and unknown entries.
