Inverse problem for Yang-Mills-Higgs fields

We show that the Yang-Mills potential and Higgs field are uniquely determined (up to the natural gauge) from source-to-solution type data associated with the classical Yang-Mills-Higgs equations in the Minkowski space. We impose natural non-degeneracy conditions on the representation for the Higgs field and on the Lie algebra of the structure group which are satisfied for the case of the Standard Model. Our approach exploits non-linear interaction of waves to recover a broken non-abelian light ray transform of the Yang-Mills field and a weighted integral transform of the Higgs field.


The Lorentzian scattering rigidity problem and rigidity of stationary metrics

Plamen Stefanov

We study scattering rigidity in Lorentzian geometry: recovery of a Lorentzian metric from the scattering relation $\mathcal{S}$ known on a lateral boundary. We show that, under a non-conjugacy assumption, every defining function $r(x,y)$ of the submanifold of pairs of boundary points which can be connected by a lightlike geodesic plays the role of the boundary distance function in the Riemannian case in the following sense. Its linearization is the light ray transform of tensor fields of order two which are the perturbations of the metric. Next, we study scattering rigidity of stationary metrics in time-space cylinders and show that it can be reduced to boundary rigidity of magnetic systems on the base; a problem studied previously. This implies several scattering rigidity results for stationary metrics.
