# Reconstructions from boundary measurements on admissible manifolds

• We prove that a potential $q$ can be reconstructed from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the Schrödinger operator $-\Delta_g + q$ in a fixed admissible $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. We also show that an admissible metric $g$ in a fixed conformal class can be constructed from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for $\Delta_g$. This is a constructive version of earlier uniqueness results by Dos Santos Ferreira et al. [10] on admissible manifolds, and extends the reconstruction procedure of Nachman [31] in Euclidean space. The main points are the derivation of a boundary integral equation characterizing the boundary values of complex geometrical optics solutions, and the development of associated layer potentials adapted to a cylindrical geometry.
