We consider uniqueness in an inverse Schr\"odinger problem in a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ given the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on part of the boundary. On the remaining boundary we impose a new type of singular boundary condition with…

Odd-dimensional Riemannian spaces that are non-orientable, but have a pin structure, require the consideration of the twisted adjoint representation of the corresponding pin group. It is shown here how the Dirac operator should be modified,…
