We study the geodesic X-ray transform $X$ on compact Riemannian surfaces with conjugate points. Regardless of the type of the conjugate points, we show that we cannot recover the singularities and therefore, this transform is always…

This article is concerned with tensor field tomography in a fairly general setting, that takes refraction, attenuation and time-dependence of tensor fields into account. The mathematical model is given by attenuated ray transforms of the…

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…

We initiate a study of the inversion of the geodesic X-ray transform $I_m$ over symmetric $m$-tensor fields on asymptotically hyperbolic surfaces. This operator has a non-trivial kernel whenever $m\ge 1$. To propose a gauge representative…

We interpret tensors on a smooth manifold M as differential forms over a graded commutative algebra called the algebra of iterated differential forms over M. This allows us to put standard tensor calculus in a new differentially closed…

The present article proposes a partial answer to the explicit inversion of the tensor tomography problem in two dimensions, by proving injectivity over certain kinds of tensors and providing reconstruction formulas for them. These tensors…

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 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…
