Layered-scattering determination of intrinsic invariants of a submanifold
Layered-scattering determination of intrinsic invariants of a submanifold
Let be a closed smooth -dimensional submanifold of the flat torus , with . Choose numbers
so that the Weyl tubes are properly contained in a smooth compact connected domain . Assume that the natural homomorphism is trivial and that the billiards are ergodic. Let be the length, or travel-time, functions of billiard trajectories in , and let denote their averages. The quantities
are the intrinsic global invariants of the Riemannian manifold defined by the cited formulae.
Layered-scattering determination conjecture. The averages determine the intrinsic global invariants .
The claim links finitely many averaged travel-time measurements to the coefficients in the Weyl tube-volume polynomial, and hence to intrinsic geometry of . The supplied text presents the statement as a conjecture and gives no resolution.
