Abstract

Consider a real-analytic orientable connected complete Riemannian manifold MM with boundary of dimension n2n\ge 2 and let kk be an integer 1kn1\le k\le n. In the case when MM is compact of dimension n3n\ge 3, we show that the manifold and the metric on it can be reconstructed, up to an isometry, from the set of the Cauchy data for harmonic kk-forms, given on an open subset of the boundary. This extends a result of [13] when k=0k=0. In the two-dimensional case, the same conclusion is obtained when considering the set of the Cauchy data for harmonic 11-forms. Under additional assumptions on the curvature of the manifold, we carry out the same program when MM is complete non-compact. In the case n3n\ge 3, this generalizes the results of [12] when k=0k=0. In the two-dimensional case, we are able to reconstruct the manifold from the set of the Cauchy data for harmonic 11-forms.
