Calderon's uniqueness question for bounded measurable scalar conductivities in dimension three
Theorem 1.1: there are real γ0,γ1∈L∞(B(0,3)) with c≤γj≤C, both equal to 1 near the boundary, differing on a set of positive measure, whose full weak Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators H1/2→H−1/2 coincide. A corollary places 2m such conductivities in any bounded Lipschitz domain in R3. The construction nests scalar blocks with toroidal interfaces. This refutes the uniqueness assertion quantified over all n≥3. Not shown: counterexamples in each dimension n≥4, control of the contrast, or anything about conductivities with some derivative regularity (where uniqueness is known).
