Abstract: For analytic negatively curved Riemannian manifold with analytic strictly convex boundary, we show that the scattering map for the geodesic flow determines the manifold up to isometry. In particular one recovers both the topology and the metric. More generally, our result holds in the analytic category under the no conjugate point and hyperbolic trapped sets assumptions.

Review text

The scattering data of a compact connected Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) with boundary \(\partial M\) is the set of endpoints together with the normalized tangent vectors at both endpoints of the geodesics with endpoints in \(\partial M\). The geometric inverse problem considered here is to determine properties of \(M\) from this scattering data. The main result here is that for analytic negatively curved Riemannian manifolds with analytic strictly convex boundary the scattering data determines the manifold up to isometry, and in particular determines both the topology and the metric on the manifold. The result also holds for analytic manifolds satisfying the no conjugate point and hyperbolic trapped set assumptions.
