The Calderón problem in transversally anisotropic geometries (Q343104)

This paper deals with the anisotropic Calderón problem of recovering a conductivity matrix or a Riemannian metric from electrical boundary measurements in three and higher dimensions. The first main theorem in this paper concerns the anisotropic Calderón problem in a fixed conformal class. In this abstract setting, the authors establish that the boundary measurements uniquely determine a mixed Fourier transform/attenuated geodesic ray transform. Next, they prove that the boundary measurements in an infinite cylinder uniquely determine the transversal metric. The proofs combine complex geometrical optics solutions involving Gaussian beam quasimodes with a connection between the Calderón problem and Gel'fand's inverse problem for the wave equation and the boundary control method.
