A Calder\'on Problem for the Dirac operator with chiral boundary conditions

Abstract

We consider on a spin manifold with boundary a Dirac operator DA with chiral boundary conditions, twisted by a unitary connection A. When m is not in the chiral spectrum of DA, we define an analogue of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the Dirac equation DA - m, which we call the boundary conjugation map, and show that it is a pseudodifferential operator of order 0 on the boundary. We show that in dimension greater than 2, its symbol determines the Taylor series of the metric and connection modulo gauge on the boundary when m ≠ 0 and m2 is not in the Dirichlet spectrum of DA2. We go on to show that a real-analytic Riemannian manifold and twisted spinor bundle with twisted spin connection can be recovered from its boundary conjugation map. Under further hypotheses, one can recover the unitary connection up to global gauge equivalence and the complex spinor bundles. Similar results hold in dimension 2 when the auxiliary bundle and connection are absent.
