Abstract: Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold and $FsubsetM$ a set with a nonempty interior. For every $xinM$, let $D_x$ denote the function on $FimesF$ defined by $D_x(y,z)=d(x,y)-d(x,z)$ where $d$ is the geodesic distance in $M$. The map $xmapsto{D}_x$ from $M$ to the space of continuous functions on $FimesF$, denoted by $mathcal{D}_F$, is called a distance difference representation of $M$. This representation, introduced recently by M. Lassas and T. Saksala, is motivated by geophysical imaging among other things. We prove that the distance difference representation $mathcal{D}_F$ is a locally bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism onto its image $mathcal{D}_F(M)$ and that for every open set $UsubsetM$ the set $mathcal{D}_F(U)$ uniquely determines the Riemannian metric on $U$. Furthermore the determination of $M$ from $mathcal{D}_F(M)$ is stable if $M$ has a priori bounds on its diameter, curvature, and injectivity radius. This extends and strengthens earlier results by M. Lassas and T. Saksala.
