Local Recovery of Magnetic Invariants from Local Length Measurements in Non-Reversible Randers Metrics
Abstract
We study a purely local inverse problem for non-reversible Randers metrics \( F = \|\cdot\|_g + \beta \) defined on smooth oriented surfaces. Using only the lengths of sufficiently small closed curves around a point \( p \), we prove that the exterior derivative \( d\beta(p) \) can be uniquely and stably recovered. Moreover, we establish that \( d\beta(p) \) is the only second-order local invariant retrievable from such local length measurements. Our approach is entirely metric-based, independent of geodesic flows or boundary data, and naturally extends to general curved surfaces.
