Inverse Problems for Differential Forms on Riemannian Manifolds with Boundary

Consider a real-analytic orientable connected complete Riemannian manifold M with boundary of dimension n ≥ 2 and let k be an integer 1 ≤ k ≤ n. In the case when M is compact of dimension n ≥ 3, we show that the manifold and the metric on it can be reconstructed, up to an isometry, from the set of the Cauchy data for harmonic k-forms, given on an open subset of the boundary. This extends a result of [14 Lassas , M. , Uhlmann , G. ( 2001 ). On determining a Riemannian manifold from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map . Ann. Sci. École Norm. 34 : 771 – 787 .[Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] when k = 0. In the two-dimensional case, the same conclusion is obtained when considering the set of the Cauchy data for harmonic 1-forms. Under additional assumptions on the curvature of the manifold, we carry out the same program when M is complete non-compact. In the case n ≥ 3, this generalizes the results of [13 Lassas , M. , Taylor , M. , Uhlmann , G. ( 2003 ). The Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for complete Riemannian manifolds with boundary . Comm. Anal. Geom. 11 : 207 – 221 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] when k = 0. In the two-dimensional case, we are able to reconstruct the manifold from the set of the Cauchy data for harmonic 1-forms.
