Abstract

We prove that if P(D)P(D) is some constant coefficient partial differential operator and ff is a scalar field such that P(D)fP(D)f vanishes in a given open set, then the integrals of ff over all lines intersecting that open set determine the scalar field uniquely everywhere. This is done by proving a unique continuation property of fractional Laplacians which implies uniqueness for the partial data problem. We also apply our results to partial data problems of vector fields.
