Reconstruction formulas for X-ray transforms in negative curvature

Abstract

We give reconstruction formulas inverting the geodesic X-ray transform over functions (call it I0I_0) and solenoidal vector fields on surfaces with negative curvature and strictly convex boundary. These formulas generalize the Pestov-Uhlmann formulas in [Pestov-Uhlmann, IMRN '04] (established for simple surfaces) to cases allowing geodesics with infinite length on surfaces with trapping. Such formulas take the form of Fredholm equations, where the analysis of error operators requires deriving new estimates for the normal operator Π0=I0I0\Pi_0 = I_0^* I_0. Numerical examples are provided at the end.
