Abstract:Let $g$ be a Lorentzian metric on the plane $r ^2$ that agrees with the standard metric $g_0=-dx^2+dy^2$ outside a compact set and so that there are no conjugate points along any time-like geodesic of $(r ^2,g)$. Then $(r ^2,g)$ and $(r ^2,g_0)$ are isometric. Further, if $(M,g)$ and $(M^*,g^*)$ are two dimensional compact time oriented Lorentzian manifolds with space--like boundaries and so that all time-like geodesics of $(M,g)$ maximize the distances between their points and $(M,g)$ and $(M^*,g^*)$ are ``boundary isometric', then there is a conformal diffeomorphism between $(M,g)$ and $(M^*,g^*)$ and they have the same areas. Similar results hold in higher dimensions under an extra assumption on the volumes of the manifolds.
