We prove that the geodesic X-ray transform is injective on $L^2$ when the Riemannian metric is simple but the metric tensor is only finitely differentiable. The number of derivatives needed depends explicitly on dimension, and in dimension…

The X-ray transform on a compact symmetric space M is here inverted by means of an explicit inversion formula. The proof uses the conjugacy of the minimal closed geodesics in M and of the maximally curved totally geodesic spheres in M,…

We introduce and study a new integral ray transform called the head wave transform. The head wave transform integrates a function along a piecewise linear (in general geodesic) path consisting of three parts. The geometry of such paths…

We give a new proof of the existence of compact surfaces embedded in $R^3$ with Anosov geodesic flows. This proof starts with a non-compact model surface whose geodesic flow is shown to be Anosov using a uniformly strictly invariant cone…
