Abstract

We construct an explicit inversion formula for Guillarmou's normal operator on closed surfaces of constant negative curvature. This normal operator can be defined as a weak limit for an "attenuated normal operator", and we prove this inversion formula by first constructing an additional inversion formula for this attenuated normal operator on both the Poincar\'e disk and closed surfaces of constant negative curvature. A consequence of the inversion formula is the explicit construction of invariant distributions with prescribed pushforward over closed hyperbolic manifolds.
