Abstract

We solve the inverse spectral problem for rotationally symmetric manifolds, which include a class of surfaces of revolution, by giving an analytic isomorphism from the space of spectral data onto the space of functions describing the radius of rotation. An analogue of the Minkowski problem is also solved.

Keywords

rotationally symmetric manifolds, inverse problem
