A support theorem for the X-ray transform on manifolds with plane covers

Differential Geometry 2020-07-08 v1

Abstract

This article is concerned with support theorems of the X-ray transform on non-compact manifolds with conjugate points. In particular, we prove that all simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie groups have a support theorem. Important ingredients of the proof are the concept of plane covers and a support theorem for simple manifolds by Krishnan.We also provide examples of non-homogeneous 3-dimensional simply connected manifolds with conjugate points which have support theorems.
