The anisotropic partial Calderón conjecture for singular metrics

Let MM be a smooth compact connected manifold with smooth boundary M\partial M, and let gg and g~\tilde{g} be smooth Riemannian metrics on MM. Let ΓD,ΓN\Gamma_D, \Gamma_N be open subsets of M\partial M. Assume that λR\lambda \in \mathbb{R} does not belong to the Dirichlet spectra σ(Δg)\sigma(-\Delta_g) or σ(Δg~)\sigma(-\Delta_{\tilde{g}}), and suppose that

Λg,ΓD,ΓN(λ)=Λg~,ΓD,ΓN(λ).\Lambda_{g,\Gamma_D,\Gamma_N}(\lambda)=\Lambda_{\tilde{g},\Gamma_D,\Gamma_N}(\lambda).

Anisotropic partial Calderón conjecture. It should follow that g=g~g=\tilde{g} up to the diffeomorphism gauge invariance if dimM3\dim M\geq 3, and up to the diffeomorphism and conformal gauge invariances if dimM=2\dim M=2 and λ=0\lambda=0.

Here the diffeomorphism gauge consists of pullbacks by diffeomorphisms of MM equal to the identity on ΓDΓN\Gamma_D\cup\Gamma_N; in dimension two at zero frequency, the additional conformal gauge consists of multiplying the metric by a positive smooth function equal to 11 on ΓN\Gamma_N. The conjecture asks whether the partial Dirichlet-to-Neumann map at one frequency determines the metric modulo precisely these unavoidable invariances; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
