AbstractWe show that on a two-dimensional compact nontrapping manifold with strictly convex boundary, a piecewise constant function is determined by its integrals over geodesics. In higher dimensions, we obtain a similar result if the manifold satisfies a foliation condition. These theorems are based on iterating a local uniqueness result. Our proofs are elementary.

We show that, on an oriented compact surface, two sufficiently $C^{2}$-close Riemannian metrics with strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points, hyperbolic trapped set for their geodesic flows and the same marked boundary distance are isometric via a diffeomorphism that fixes the boundary. We also prove that the same conclusion holds on a compact surface for any two negatively curved Riemannian metrics with strictly convex boundary and the same marked boundary distance, extending a result of Croke and Otal.

Let [Formula: see text] be a three-dimensional Lie group with a bi-invariant metric. Consider [Formula: see text] a strictly convex domain in [Formula: see text]. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is a stable CMC free-boundary surface in [Formula: see text] then [Formula: see text] has genus either 0 or 1, and at most three boundary components. This result was proved by Nunes [I. Nunes, On stable constant mean curvature surfaces with free-boundary, Math. Z. 287(1–2) (2017) 73–479] for the case where [Formula: see text] and by R. Souam for the case where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a geodesic ball with radius [Formula: see text], excluding the possibility of [Formula: see text] having three boundary components. Besides [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], our result also apply to the spaces [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a geodesic ball with radius [Formula: see text], we obtain that if [Formula: see text] is stable then [Formula: see text] is a totally umbilical disc. In order to prove those results, we use an extended stability inequality and a modified Hersch type balancing argument to get a better control on the genus and on the number of connected components of the boundary of the surfaces.
