The fractional anisotropic Calderón problem for a nonlocal parabolic equation on closed Riemannian manifolds

Abstract: We consider the fractional anisotropic Calder\'on problem for the nonlocal parabolic equation $(\partial_t -\Delta_g)^s u=f$ ($0<s<1$) on closed Riemannian manifolds. More concretely, we can determine the Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ up to isometry by using the local source-to-solution map in an arbitrarily small open cylinder in the spacetime domain. This can be regarded as a nonlocal analog of the anisotropic Calder\'on problem in the parabolic setting. We also study several useful properties for nonlocal parabolic operators by using comprehensive spectrum analysis with semigroup theory.
