We study the microlocal inversion of the ray transform on symmetric $m$-tensor fields restricted to all lines passing through a curve in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. From this incomplete data, we show that the wavefront set of the solenoidal component…

In an earlier paper we discussed soldered forms, multivector fields and Riemannian metrics. In particular, we showed that a Riemannian submanifold is totally geodesic iff the metric is soldered to the submanifold. In the present note we…
