contents We consider the inverse problem of determining coefficients appearing in semilinear elliptic equations stated on Riemannian manifolds with boundary given the knowledge of the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. We begin with a negative answer to this problem. Owing to this obstruction, we consider a new formulation of our inverse problem in terms of a rigidity problem. Precisely, we consider cases where the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of a semilinear equation coincides with the one of a linear equation and ask whether this implies that the equation must indeed be linear. We give a positive answer to this rigidity problem under some assumptions imposed to the Riemannian manifold and to the semilinear term under consideration.
