Gauge-rigidity conjecture for the Calderón problem for connections

From papers

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a Riemannian manifold, let EE be a Hermitian vector bundle over MM, and let AA and BB be unitary connections on EE. Denote by ΛA\Lambda_A and ΛB\Lambda_B the Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps associated with the connection Laplacians determined by AA and BB. A gauge equivalence is a fibrewise Hermitian-preserving bundle automorphism of EE; it is boundary-trivial when its restriction to M\partial M is the identity. Gauge-rigidity conjecture. The equality

ΛA=ΛB\Lambda_A=\Lambda_B

holds if and only if there exists a boundary-trivial gauge equivalence that pulls back BB to AA. This asserts that boundary-trivial gauge transformations are the only obstruction to recovering a unitary connection from its Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. The general Calderón problem for connections remains open, although partial results are known under additional geometric and analytic assumptions.
