Abstract

We consider on a spin manifold with boundary a Dirac operator DAD_A with chiral boundary conditions, twisted by a unitary connection AA. When mm is not in the chiral spectrum of DAD_A, we define an analogue of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the Dirac equation DAmD_A - m, which we call the boundary conjugation map, and show that it is a pseudodifferential operator of order 00 on the boundary. We show that in dimension greater than 2, its symbol determines the Taylor series of the metric and connection modulo gauge on the boundary when m0m \neq 0 and m2m^2 is not in the Dirichlet spectrum of DA2D_A^2. We go on to show that a real-analytic Riemannian manifold and twisted spinor bundle with twisted spin connection can be recovered from its boundary conjugation map. Under further hypotheses, one can recover the unitary connection up to global gauge equivalence and the complex spinor bundles. Similar results hold in dimension 22 when the auxiliary bundle and connection are absent.
