Abstract

We consider scattering by an obstacle in \Reald\Real^d, d3d\geq 3 odd. We show that for the Neumann Laplacian if an obstacle has the same resonances as the ball of radius ρ\rho does, then the obstacle is a ball of radius ρ\rho. We give related results for obstacles which are disjoint unions of several balls of the same radius.
