Abstract

Given (M,g)(M,g), a compact connected Riemannian manifold of dimension d2d \geq 2, with boundary M\partial M, we study the inverse boundary value problem of determining a time-dependent potential qq, appearing in the wave equation t2uΔgu+q(t,x)u=0\partial_t^2u-\Delta_g u+q(t,x)u=0 in Mˉ=(0,T)×M\bar M=(0,T)\times M with T>0T>0. Under suitable geometric assumptions we prove global unique determination of qL(Mˉ)q\in L^\infty(\bar M) given the Cauchy data set on the whole boundary Mˉ\partial \bar M, or on certain subsets of Mˉ\partial \bar M. Our problem can be seen as an analogue of the Calder\'on problem on the Lorentzian manifold (Mˉ,dt2g)(\bar M, dt^2 - g).
