We establish an equivalence principle between the solenoidal injectivity of the geodesic ray transform acting on symmetric $m$-tensors and the existence of invariant distributions or smooth first integrals with prescribed projection over…
Given a Lorentzian manifold, the light ray transform of a function is its integrals along null geodesics. This paper is concerned with the injectivity of the light ray transform on functions and tensors, up to the natural gauge for the…
We consider geodesics on the surfaces obtained by weak deformations of the standard 2D-sphere. The dynamics of a particle on the surface can be asymptotically described by the averaged evolution of the particle's angular momentum. It is…
In this article, we study the properties of the geodesic X-ray transform for asymptotically Euclidean or conic Riemannian metrics and show injectivity under non-trapping and no conjugate point assumptions. We also define a notion of lens…
This article deals with stability issues related to geodesic X-ray transforms, where an interplay between the (attenuation type) weight in the transform and the underlying geometry strongly impact whether the problem is stable or unstable.…
In this note, we give a generalization of the inversion formulas of Pestov-Uhlmann for the geodesic ray transform of functions and vector fields on simple 2-dimensional manifolds of constant curvature. The inversion formulas given here hold…
We introduce a technique for recovering a sufficiently smooth function from its ray transform over a wide class of curves in a general region of Euclidean space. The method is based on a complexification of the underlying vector fields…
We prove that the geodesic X-ray transform is injective on scalar functions and (solenoidally) on one-forms on simple Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ with $g \in C^{1,1}$. In addition to a proof, we produce a redefinition of simplicity that is…
This article considers inverse problems on closed Riemannian surfaces whose geodesic flow is Anosov. We prove spectral rigidity for any Anosov surface and injectivity of the geodesic ray transform on solenoidal 2-tensors. We also establish…
We prove a uniqueness result for the broken ray transform acting on the sums of functions and $1$-forms on surfaces in the presence of an external force and a reflecting obstacle. We assume that the considered twisted geodesic flows have…
This PhD dissertation is concerned with integral geometric inverse problems. The geodesic ray transform is an operator that encodes the line integrals of a function along geodesics. The dissertation establishes many conditions when such…
We consider weighted ray-transforms $P\_W$ (weighted Radon transforms along straight lines) in $\mathbb{R}^d, \, d\geq 2,$ with strictly positive weights $W$. We construct an example of such a transform with non-trivial kernel in the space…
We reduce boundary determination of an unknown function and its normal derivatives from the (possibly weighted and attenuated) broken ray data to the injectivity of certain geodesic ray transforms on the boundary. For determination of the…
We consider the X-ray transform in a projective space over a finite field. It is well known (after E. Bolker) that this transform is injective. We formulate an analog of I.M. Gelfand's admissibility problem for the Radon transform, which…
We present an example of a complete Riemannian plane with precisely two injective geodesics - up to reparameterization. The example arises as a perturbation of a surface of revolution with contracting end. The last section is devoted to…
We consider the broken ray transform on Riemann surfaces in the presence of an obstacle, following earlier work of Mukhometov. If the surface has nonpositive curvature and the obstacle is strictly convex, we show that a function is…
The windowed ray transform is a natural generalization of the "Analytic-Signal Transform" which is developed to extend arbitrary functions from $\RR^n$ to $\CC^n$. We present several inversion formulas here.
Starting from well-known absolute instruments for perfect imaging, we introduce a type of rotational-symmetrical compact closed manifolds, namely geodesic lenses. We demonstrate that light rays confined on geodesic lenses are closed…
We consider the Radon transform along lines in an $n$ dimensional vector space over the two element field. It is well known that this transform is injective and highly overdetermined. We classify the minimal collections of lines for which…
