Recovery of a time-dependent potential in hyperbolic equations on conformally transversally anisotropic manifolds

Abstract

We study an inverse problem of determining a time-dependent potential appearing in the wave equation in conformally transversally anisotropic manifolds of dimension three or higher. These are compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary that are conformally embedded in a product of the real line and a transversal manifold. Under the assumption of the attenuated geodesic ray transform being injective on the transversal manifold, we prove the unique determination of time-dependent potentials from the knowledge of a certain partial Cauchy data set.
