Abstract

We consider the inverse problem of determining a Riemannian metric in R n which is euclidean outside a ball from scattering information. This is a basic inverse scattering problem in anisotropic media. By looking at the wave front set of the scattering operator we are led to consider the “classical” problem of determining a Riemannian metric by measuring the travel times of geodesics passing through the domain. We survey some recent developments on this problem.
