Abstract

We consider the inverse problem to determine a smooth compact Riemannian manifold with boundary (M,g)(M, g) from a restriction Λ\Src,\Rec\Lambda_{\Src, \Rec} of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator for the wave equation on the manifold. Here \Src\Src and \Rec\Rec are open sets in \pM\p M and the restriction Λ\Src,\Rec\Lambda_{\Src, \Rec} corresponds to the case where the Dirichlet data is supported on R+×\Src\R_+\times \Src and the Neumann data is measured on R+×\Rec\R_+\times \Rec. In the novel case where \Srcˉ\Recˉ=\bar \Src \cap \bar \Rec = \emptyset, we show that Λ\Src,\Rec\Lambda_{\Src, \Rec} determines the manifold (M,g)(M,g) uniquely, assuming that the wave equation is exactly controllable from the set of sources \Src\Src. Moreover, we show that the exact controllability can be replaced by the Hassell-Tao condition for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, that is, \lambda_j \le C \norm{\p_\nu \phi_j}_{L^2(\Src)}^2, \quad j =1, 2, ..., where λj\lambda_j are the Dirichlet eigenvalues and (ϕj)j=1(\phi_j)_{j=1}^\infty is an orthonormal basis of the corresponding eigenfunctions.
