Inverse scattering at fixed energy in de Sitter-Reissner-Nordström black holes (Q2431062)

By the nature of a black hole it is reasonable to consider inverse scattering processes in order to infer information about it. The paper under review addresses the question if one can recover uniquely the metric \(g\) in terms of asymptotic properties of scattering fields. Concretely, the authors show that the metric of this family of black wholes can be uniquely determined by the partial knowledge of the scattering matrix \(S(\lambda)\), at a fixed energy \(\lambda\not=0\). The scattering matrix is associated to massless Dirac fields propagating in the outer region of de Sitter-Reissner-Nordström black holes. These are exact solutions of spherically symmetric and electrically charged Einstein-Maxwell equations. This article continues the program of inverse scattering problems on these curved spacetime backgrounds already treated by the same authors in [Inverse Probl. 24, No. 2, Article ID 025017, 18 p. (2008; Zbl 1151.83021); Corrigendum ibid. 25, No. 5, Article ID 059801, 4 p. (2009; Zbl 1167.83319)] and [Rev. Math. Phys. 22, No. 4, 431--484 (2010; Zbl 1191.81214)].
