We review boundary rigidity theorems assessing that, under appropriate conditions, Riemannian manifolds with the same spectrum of boundary geodesics are isometric. We show how to apply these theorems to the problem of reconstructing a $d+1$…

Let $\beta$ be a contact form on a compact smooth manifold $X$ and $v_\beta$ its Reeb vector field. The paper applies general results of different authors about Hodge structures that are transversal to a given foliation to the special case…

Given a smooth non-trapping compact manifold with strictly con- vex boundary, we consider an inverse problem of reconstructing the manifold from the scattering data initiated from internal sources. This data consist of the exit directions…

Consider the geometric inverse problem: There is a set of delta-sources in spacetime that emit waves travelling at unit speed. If we know all the arrival times at the boundary cylinder of the spacetime, can we reconstruct the space, a…

We study smooth {\sf traversing} vector fields $v$ on compact manifolds $X$ with boundary. A traversing $v$ admits a Lyapunov function $f: X \to \Bbb R$ such that $df(v) > 0$. We show that the trajectory spaces $\mathcal T(v)$ of {\sf…

In this paper we prove two results regarding reconstruction from magnitudes of frame coefficients (the so called "phase retrieval problem"). First we show that phase retrievability as an algebraic property implies that nonlinear maps are…

We consider an inverse boundary value problem for determining unknown scatterers, which is governed by the Helmholtz equation in a bounded domain. To address this, we develop a novel convex data-fitting formulation that is capable of…

The problem to be studied in this work is within the context of coefficient identification problems for the wave equation. More precisely, we consider the problem of reconstruction of the refractive index (or equivalently, the dielectric…

We show that on a two-dimensional compact nontrapping Riemannian manifold with strictly convex boundary, a piecewise constant function can be recovered from its integrals over geodesics. We adapt the injectivity proof which uses variations…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold with boundary. We show that knowledge of the length of each geodesic, and where pairwise intersections occur along the corresponding geodesics allows for recovery of the geometry of $(M,g)$ (assuming…

It was recently suggested that certain UV-completable supersymmetric actions can be characterized by the solutions to an auxiliary non-linear sigma-model with special asymptotic boundary conditions. The space-time of this sigma-model is the…

In this paper, we consider the inverse shape problem of recovering small and extended isotropic scatterers with a conductive boundary condition. Here, we assume that the measured far-field data is known at a fixed wave number. We will…

Any traversally generic vector flow on a compact manifold $X$ with boundary leaves some residual structure on its boundary $\d X$. A part of this structure is the flow-generated causality map $C_v$, which takes a region of $\d X$ to the…

With a densely defined symmetric semi-bounded operator of nonzero defect indexes $L_0$ in a separable Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ we associate a topological space $\Omega_{L_0}$ ({\it wave spectrum}) constructed from the reachable sets of a…

In this paper a compact Riemannian manifold with strictly convex boundary is reconstructed from its partial travel time data. This data assumes that an open measurement region on the boundary is given, and that for every point in the…

Let $N$ be a geodesically convex subset in a convex co-compact hyperbolic manifold $M$ with incompressible boundary. We assume that each boundary component of $N$ is either a boundary component of $\partial_\infty M$, or a smooth, locally…

In this paper, we define contact invariants in bordered sutured Floer homology. Given a contact 3-manifold with convex boundary, we apply a result of Zarev (arxiv:1010.3496) to derive contact invariants in the bordered sutured modules…

We deal with two dynamical systems associated with a Riemannian manifold with boundary. The first one is a system governed by the scalar wave equation, the second is governed by the Maxwell equations. Both of the systems are controlled from…
