Forward and inverse scattering on manifolds with asymptotically cylindrical ends

Abstract

We study an inverse problem for a non-compact Riemannian manifold whose ends have the following properties : On each end, the Riemannian metric is assumed to be a short-range perturbation of the metric of the form $(dy{)}^2+h(x,dx)$, $h(x,dx)$ being the metric of some compact manifold of codimension 1. Moreover one end is exactly cylindrical, i.e. the metric is equal to $(dy{)}^2+h(x,dx)$. Given two such manifolds having the same scattering matrix on that exactly cylindrical end for all energy, we show that these two manifolds are isometric.
