Abstract
We consider an inverse boundary value problem for the hyperbolic partial differential equation with time dependent vector and scalar potentials ( and respectively) on a bounded, smooth cylindric domain . Using a geometric optics construction we show that the boundary data allows us to recover integrals of the potentials along `light rays' and we then establish the uniqueness of these potentials modulo a gauge transform. Also, a logarithmic stability estimate is obtained and the presence of obstacles inside the domain is studied. In this case, it is shown that under some geometric restrictions similar uniqueness results hold.
