The first one is a direct analog of the Gel'fand inverse boundary spectral problem. To formulate it, assume that $M$ is divided by a hypersurface $\\Sigma$ into two components and we know the eigenvalues $\\lambda_j$ of the Laplace operator on $(M,g)$ and also the Cauchy data, on $\\Sigma$, of the corresponding eigenfunctions $\\phi_j$, i.e. $\\phi_j|_{\\Sigma},\\partial_\\nu\\phi_j|_{\\Sigma}$, where $\\nu$ is the normal to $\\Sigma$. We prove that these data determine $(M,g)$ uniquely, i.e. up to an isometry. In the second problem we are given much less data, namely, $\\lambda_j$ and $\\phi_j|_{\\Sigma}$ only. However, if $\\Sigma$ consists of at least two components, $\\Sigma_1, \\Sigma_2$, we are still able to determine $(M,g)$ assuming some conditions on $M$ and $\\Sigma$. These conditions are formulated in terms of the spectra of the manifolds with boundary obtained by cutting $M$ along $\\Sigma_i$, $i=1,2$, and are of a generic nature. We consider also some other inverse problems on $M$ related to the above with data which is easier to obtain from measurements than the spectral data described.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-09-13T20:44:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J25", "58J50" ], "keywords": [ "inverse spectral problems", "closed manifold", "gelfand inverse boundary spectral problem", "inverse problems", "closed connected riemannian manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0709.2171K" } } }
