Local lens rigidity with incomplete data for a class of non-simple Riemannian manifolds
Abstract
Let be the scattering relation on a compact Riemannian manifold with non-necessarily convex boundary, that maps initial points of geodesic rays on the boundary and initial directions to the outgoing point on the boundary and the outgoing direction. Let be the length of that geodesic ray. We study the question of whether the metric is uniquely determined, up to an isometry, by knowledge of and restricted on some subset . We allow possible conjugate points but we assume that the conormal bundle of the geodesics issued from covers ; and that those geodesics have no conjugate points. Under an additional topological assumption, we prove that and restricted to uniquely recover an isometric copy of locally near generic metrics, and in particular, near real analytic ones.
