We study the boundary rigidity problem for compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary $(M,g)$: is the Riemannian metric $g$ uniquely determined, up to an action of diffeomorphism fixing the boundary, by the distance function $\rho_g(x,y)$…

For a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we want to find the metric structure from knowledge of distances between boundary points. This is called the "boundary rigidity problem". If the boundary is not concave, which means locally…
