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 Δ+V+(Λt1q)(Λt2q)\Delta+V+(\Lambda^{1}_{t}-q)\otimes (\Lambda^{2}_{t}-q) defined on M2×[0,1]\partial\mathcal{M}^{2}\times [0,1] where VV and qq are potentials and Λti\Lambda^{i}_{t} is a Dirichlet-Neumann operator at depth tt. 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 M2\partial\mathcal{M}^{2}.
