In this talk we shall discuss some recent progress on inverse boundary problems for linear and nonlinear elliptic PDE on Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we shall show that the presence of a nonlinearity may help, allowing one to solve inverse problems for nonlinear equations in situations where the linear counterpart is open. We shall also present a solution of the linearized anisotropic Calderon problem on transversally anisotropic manifolds, under the assumption that the transversal manifold is real analytic and satisfies a certain condition related to the geometry of pairs of intersecting geodesics. The argument depends on a construction of Gaussian beam quasimodes on the transversal manifold, with exponentially small errors. This talk is based on joint works with Tony Liimatainen, Mikko Salo, and Gunther Uhlmann.
