Abstract
We consider inverse problems in space-time , a -dimensional Lorentzian manifold. For semilinear wave equations , where denotes the usual Laplace-Beltrami operator, we prove that the source-to-solution map , where is a neighborhood of a time-like geodesic , determines the topological, differentiable structure and the conformal class of the metric of the space-time in the maximal set where waves can propagate from and return back. Moreover, on a given space-time , the source-to-solution map determines some coefficients of the Taylor expansion of in .
