We study inverse scattering for $\Delta_g+V$ on $(X,g)$ a conformally compact manifold with metric $g,$ with variable sectional curvature $-\alf^2(y)$ at the boundary and $V\in C^\infty(X)$ not vanishing at the boundary. We prove that the…

The main result of this paper is that the space of conformally compact Einstein metrics on a given manifold is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold, provided it is non-empty, generalizing earlier work of Graham-Lee and Biquard. We…

We construct counterexamples to inverse problems for the wave operator on domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n \ge 2$, and on Lorentzian manifolds. We show that non-isometric Lorentzian metrics can lead to same partial data measurements, which…
