Abstract

We consider the restricted Dirichlet-to-Neumann map Λg,A,qU,V\Lambda^{U,V}_{g,A,q} for the wave equation with magnetic potential AA and scalar potential qq, on an admissible Lorentzian manifold (M,g)(M, g) of dimension n3n \geq 3 with boundary. Here UU and VV are disjoint open subsets of M\partial M, where we impose the Dirichlet data on UU and measure the Neumann-type data on VV. We use the gliding rays and microlocal analysis to show that, without any a priori information, one can reconstruct the conformal class of the boundary metric gTM×TMg|_{T\partial M \times T\partial M} and the magnetic potential ATMA|_{T\partial M} at recoverable boundary points from Λg,A,qU,V\Lambda^{U,V}_{g,A,q}. In particular, the conformal factor and the jet of the metric at those points are determined up to gauge transformations. Moreover, if the metric and the time orientation are known on UU (or VV), then the metric on a larger portion of VV (or UU) can be reconstructed, up to gauge.
