Abstract: In this paper, we consider the boundary rigidity problem on a cylindrical domain in $mathbb{R}^{1+n}$, $ngeq2$, equipped with a stationary (time-invariant) Lorentzian metric. We show that the time separation function between pairs of points on the boundary of the cylindrical domain determines the stationary spacetime, up to some time-invariant diffeomorphism, assuming that the metric satisfies some a-priori conditions.
