Abstract

We consider the Gel'fand-Calder\'on problem for a Schr\"odinger operator of the form (+iA)2+q-(\nabla + iA)^2 + q, defined on a ball BB in R3\mathbb R^3. We assume that the magnetic potential AA is small in Ws,3W^{s,3} for some s>0s>0, and that the electric potential qq is in W1,3W^{-1,3}. We show that, under these assumptions, the magnetic field curlA\operatorname{curl} A and the potential qq are both determined by the Dirichlet-Neumann relation at the boundary B\partial B. The assumption on qq is critical with respect to homogeneity, and the assumption on AA is nearly critical. Previous uniqueness theorems of this type have assumed either that both AA and qq are bounded or that AA is zero.
