Abstract: We consider the nonlinear problem of determining a connection and a Higgs field from the corresponding parallel transport along geodesics on a Riemannian manifold with boundary, in any dimension. The problem can be reduced to an integral geometry question of some attenuated geodesic ray transform through a pseudolinearization argument. We show injectivity (up to natural obstructions) and stability estimates for both the linear and nonlinear problems for generic simple metrics and generic connections and Higgs fields, including the real-analytic ones. We consider the problems on simple manifolds in order to make the exposition of the main ideas clear and concise, many results of this paper are still true under much weaker geometric assumptions, in particular conjugate points and trapped geodesics are allowed and the boundary is not necessarily convex.
