contents In this work, we explore the notions unextendible product basis and uncompletability for operators which remain positive under partial transpose. Then, we analyze their connections to the ensembles which are many-copy indistinguishable under local operations and classical communication (LOCC). We show that the orthogonal complement of any bipartite pure entangled state is spanned by product states which form a nonorthogonal unextendible product basis (nUPB) of maximum cardinality. This subspace has one to one correspondence with the maximum dimensional subspace where there is no orthonormal product basis. Due to these, the proof of indistinguishability of a class of ensembles under LOCC in many-copy scenario becomes simpler. Furthermore, it is now clear that there are several many-copy indistinguishable ensembles which are different construction-wise. But if we consider the technique of proving their indistinguishability property under LOCC, then, for many of them it can be done using the general notion of unextendible product basis. Explicit construction of the product states, forming nUPBs is shown. Thereafter, we introduce the notion of positive partial transpose uncompletability to unify different many-copy indistinguishable ensembles. We also report a class of multipartite many-copy indistinguishable ensembles for which local indistinguishability property increases with decreasing number of mixed states.
