High-Velocity Estimates for Schr\"odinger Operators in Two Dimensions:   Long-Range Magnetic Potentials and Time-Dependent Inverse Scattering
  We introduce a general class of long-range magnetic potentials and derive high velocity limits for the scattering operators in quantum mechanics, in the case of two dimensions. We analyze the high velocity limits in the presence of an obstacle and we uniquely reconstruct from them the electric potential and the magnetic field outside the obstacle. We also reconstruct the inaccessible magnetic fluxes produced by fields inside the obstacle modulo $2 \pi$. For every magnetic potential $A$ in our class we prove that its behavior at infinity ($A_\infty(\hat{\mathbf v}), \hat{\mathbf v} \in \mathbb{S}^1$) can be characterized in a natural way. Under very general assumptions we prove that $A_\infty(\hat{\mathbf v}) + A_\infty(- \hat{\mathbf v})$ can be uniquely reconstructed for every $\hat{\mathbf v} \in \mathbb{S}^1$. We characterize properties of the support of the magnetic field outside the obstacle that permit us to uniquely reconstruct $A_\infty(\hat{\mathbf v})$ either for all $ \hat{\mathbf v} \in \mathbb{S}^1$ or for $\hat{\mathbf v}$ in a subset of $\mathbb{S}^1$. We also give a wide class of magnetic fields outside the obstacle allowing us to uniquely reconstruct the total magnetic flux (and $A_\infty(\hat{\mathbf v})$ for all $ \hat{\mathbf v} \in \mathbb{S}^1$). This is relevant because, as it is well-known, in general the scattering operator (even if is known for all velocities or energies) does not define uniquely the total magnetic flux (and $A_\infty(\hat{\mathbf v})$ ). We analyze additionally injectivity (i.e., uniqueness without giving a method for reconstruction) of the high velocity limits of the scattering operator with respect to $A_\infty(\hat{\mathbf v})$. Assuming that the magnetic field outside the obstacle is not identically zero, we provide a class of magnetic potentials for which injectivity is valid.
