Abstract

We consider weighted Radon transforms RWR_W along hyperplanes in R3R^3 with strictly positive weights WW. We construct an example of such a transform with non-trivial kernel KerRW\mathrm{Ker}R_W in the space of infinitely smooth compactly supported functions and with continuous weight. Moreover, in this example the weight WW is rotation invariant. In particular, by this result we continue studies of Quinto (1983), Markoe, Quinto (1985), Boman (1993) and Goncharov, Novikov (2017). We also extend our example to the case of weighted Radon transforms along two-dimensional planes in RdR^d , d3d \geq 3.
