A Proof of Schiffer's Conjecture in Starlike Domain by Far-Field Patterns

Abstract

We formulate the Schiffer's conjecture in spectral geometry in the context of scattering theory. The problem is equivalent to finding a non-trivial solution in an interior transmission problem. We compare the back-scattering data of the perturbation along all incident angles. The uniqueness of the inverse scattering problem along each incident direction proves the Schiffer's conjecture.
