Abstract
Let (M, g) be a simple, real analytic, Riemannian manifold with boundary and of dimension n>=3. In this work, we prove a support theorem for the transverse ray transform of tensor fields of rank 2 defined over such manifolds. More specifically, given a symmetric tensor field f of rank 2, we show that if the transverse ray transform of f vanishes over an appropriate open set of maximal geodesics of M , then the support of f vanishes on the points of M that lie on the union of the aforementioned open set of geodesics.
