Abstract

Let XX be a smooth bordered surface in 3\real^3 with smooth boundary and σ^\hat \sigma a smooth anisotropic conductivity on XX. If the genus of XX is given, then starting from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator Λσ^\Lambda_{\hat \sigma} on X\partial X, we give an explicit procedure to find a unique Riemann surface YY (up to a biholomorphism), an isotropic conductivity σ\sigma on YY and the boundary values of a quasiconformal diffeomorphism F:XYF: X \to Y which transforms σ^\hat \sigma into σ\sigma. As a corollary we obtain the following uniqueness result: if σ1,σ2\sigma_1, \sigma_2 are two smooth anisotropic conductivities on XX with Λσ1=Λσ2\Lambda_{\sigma_1}= \Lambda_{\sigma_2}, then there exists a smooth diffeomorphism Φ:XˉXˉ\Phi: \bar X \to \bar X which transforms σ1\sigma_1 into σ2\sigma_2.
