Anisotropic Calderón conjecture at zero frequency

About 2 years old · traced to

Let Ω⊂Rn\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n, n≥3n \geq 3, be a bounded domain with smooth boundary, and let γ1,γ2\gamma_1,\gamma_2 be bounded measurable anisotropic conductivities on Ω‾\overline{\Omega}. For a conductivity γ\gamma, let Λγ,0\Lambda_{\gamma,0} denote the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map at zero frequency, and for a diffeomorphism Ψ:Ω‾→Ω‾\Psi:\overline{\Omega}\to\overline{\Omega} define

Ψ∗γ=(DΨ⋅γ⋅(DΨ)T∣det⁡DΨ∣)∘Ψ−1.\Psi_*\gamma=\left(\frac{D\Psi\cdot\gamma\cdot(D\Psi)^T}{|\det D\Psi|}\right)\circ\Psi^{-1}.

Anisotropic Calderón conjecture at zero frequency. If

Λγ1,0=Λγ2,0,\Lambda_{\gamma_1,0}=\Lambda_{\gamma_2,0},

then there exists a diffeomorphism Ψ:Ω‾→Ω‾\Psi:\overline{\Omega}\to\overline{\Omega} with Ψ∣∂Ω=Id⁡\Psi_{|\partial\Omega}=\operatorname{Id} such that

γ2=Ψ∗γ1.\gamma_2=\Psi_*\gamma_1.

This is the zero-frequency anisotropic Calderón inverse problem, where the boundary measurements are expected to determine the conductivity up to the natural boundary-fixing diffeomorphism gauge. The supplied text gives no resolution evidence, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
