Abstract

Given a conformally transversally anisotropic manifold (M,g)(M,g), we consider the semilinear elliptic equation (Δg+V)u+qu2=0on M.(-\Delta_{g}+V)u+qu^2=0\quad \text{on $M$}. We show that an a priori unknown smooth function qq can be uniquely determined from the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to the semilinear elliptic equation. This extends the previously known results of the works [FO20, LLLS21a]. Our proof is based on analyzing higher order linearizations of the semilinear equation with non-vanishing boundary traces and also the study of interactions of two or more products of the so-called Gaussian quasimode solutions to the linearized equation.
