Abstract: We prove that uniqueness for the Calder'on problem on a Riemannian manifold with boundary follows from a hypothetical unique continuation property for the elliptic operator

D e l t a + V + (L a m b d a_{t}^{1} - q) o t i m e s (L a m b d a_{t}^{2} - q)

defined on

p a r t i a l m a t h c a l M^{2} i m e s [0, 1]

where

V

and

q

are potentials and

L a m b d a_{t}^{i}

is a Dirichlet-Neumann operator at depth

t

. This is done by showing that the difference of two Dirichlet-Neumann maps is equal to the Neumann boundary values of the solution to an inhomogeneous equation for said operator, where the source term is a measure supported on the diagonal of

p a r t i a l m a t h c a l M^{2}

.
