Recovering asymptotics of metrics from fixed energy scattering data (Q1298097): Difference between revisions

Suppose that \(g_{1}\) and \(g_{2}\) are two metrics that are short range perturbations of the metric of \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space (\(n\geq 3\)). The authors prove that if the scattering matrices are equal up to a smoothing operator at one fixed non-zero energy, then the \(g_{2}\) is the sum of the pullback of \(g_{1}\) via a diffeomorphism fixing infinity and a rapidly decreasing 2-cotensor. This conclusion can be restated by saying that \(g_{1}\) and \(g_{2}\) have the same asymptotics. A corollary of this result is that knowledge of the scattering matrices up to a smoothing operator at two fixed energies determines the asymptotics of both a short range metric and a short range potential simultaneously. These results generalize to the case of a \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary (\(n\geq 3\)), if each connected component of the boundary, with the induced metric, is isometric to either a sphere of irrational radius, the sphere of radius one, or the standard real projective space.
