Resonances and balls in obstacle scattering with Neumann boundary conditions

Abstract: We consider scattering by an obstacle in Reald, dgeq3 odd. We show that for the Neumann Laplacian if an obstacle has the same resonances as the ball of radius ho does, then the obstacle is a ball of radius ho. We give related results for obstacles which are disjoint unions of several balls of the same radius.


The goal of this note is to show that for obstacle scattering in \(\mathbb{R}^N\), \(N\geq 3\) odd, a ball is uniquely determined by its resonance for the Laplacian with Neumann boundary conditions. The author actually shows a somewhat stronger result: If \({\mathcal O}_1\) and \({\mathcal O}_2\) have the same (Neumann) resonances and \({\mathcal O}_1\) is the disjoint union of \(m\) balls, each of radius \(\rho\), then so is \({\mathcal O}_2\).
