Riemannian gauge-completeness conjecture for anisotropic elasticity

From papers

Consider generic stiffness tensor fields cic_i, density fields ρi\rho_i, and Riemannian metrics gig_i in the setting of the stated Riemannian anisotropic elasticity problem, and let Λ(ρi,ci,gi)\Lambda_{(\rho_i,c_i,g_i)} denote the corresponding Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps. Riemannian gauge-completeness conjecture. If

Λ(ρ1,c1,g1)=Λ(ρ2,c2,g2),\Lambda_{(\rho_1,c_1,g_1)}=\Lambda_{(\rho_2,c_2,g_2)},

then

(ρ2,c2,g2)=(μn2+nϕρ1,μϕc1,μ22+nϕg1)(\rho_2,c_2,g_2)=\left(\mu^{\frac{n}{2+n}}\,\phi_*\rho_1,\mu\,\phi_*c_1,\mu^{-\frac{2}{2+n}}\,\phi_*g_1\right)

for some function μ\mu and diffeomorphism ϕ\phi. This conjecture proposes that the gauge freedom identified in the Riemannian setting is the entire gauge freedom; the source gives no resolution.
