Abstract: For a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, endowed with a magnetic potential alpha, we consider the problem of restoring the metric g and the magnetic potential alpha from the values of the Ma~n'e action potential between boundary points and the associated linearized problem. We study simple magnetic systems. In this case, knowledge of the Ma~n'e action potential is equivalent to knowledge of the scattering relation on the boundary which maps a starting point and a direction of a magnetic geodesic into its end point and direction. This problem can only be solved up to an isometry and a gauge transformation of alpha. For the linearized problem, we show injectivity, up to the natural obstruction, under explicit bounds on the curvature and on alpha. We also show injectivity and stability for g and alpha in a generic class mathcalG including real analytic ones. For the nonlinear problem, we show rigidity for real analytic simple g, alpha. Also, rigidity holds for metrics in a given conformal class, and locally, near any (g,alpha)inmathcalG.
