The elastic Calderon problem in three dimensions: do boundary measurements determine smooth isotropic Lame moduli?
Theorem 1.1: on any bounded connected domain Ω⊂R3 with C∞ boundary, if λj,μj∈C∞(Ω) satisfy μj>0, 3λj+2μj>0 and Λλ1,μ1=Λλ2,μ2, then λ1=λ2 and μ1=μ2. No analyticity, smallness or prior boundary agreement is assumed. It is a uniqueness theorem for smooth coefficients and full static data only: no reconstruction algorithm, no stability estimate, no partial-data or low-regularity version, and nothing about anisotropic elasticity.
