Abstract: With a densely defined symmetric semi-bounded operator of nonzero defect indexes L0 in a separable Hilbert space calH we associate a topological space OmegaL0 ({it wave spectrum}) constructed from the reachable sets of a dynamical system governed by the equation utt+(L0)u=0. Wave spectra of unitary equivalent operators are homeomorphic. In inverse problems, one needs to recover a Riemannian manifold Omega via dynamical or spectral boundary data. We show that for a generic class of manifolds, Omega is isometric to the wave spectrum OmegaL0 of the minimal Laplacian acting in calH=L2(Omega), whereas L0 is determined by the inverse data up to unitary equivalence. Hence, the manifold can be recovered (up to isometry) by the scheme `data RightarrowL0RightarrowOmegaL0oversetmisom=Omega'. The wave spectrum is relevant to a wide class of dynamical systems, which describe the finite speed wave propagation processes. The paper elucidates the operator background of the boundary control method (Belishev`1986), which is an approach to inverse problems based on their relations to control theory.
