We derive explicit formulas for the reconstruction of a function from its integrals over a family of spheres, or for the inversion of the spherical mean Radon transform. Such formulas are important for problems of thermo- and photo-…

Let $(M,g)$ be a simple Riemannian manifold with boundary and consider the geodesic ray transform of symmetric 2-tensor fields. Let the integral of $f$ along maximal geodesics vanish on an appropriate open subset of the space of geodesics…
We develop an algorithm for reconstruction of elastic strain fields from their Longitudinal Ray Transform (LRT) in either two or three dimensions. In general, the LRT only determines the solenoidal part of a symmetric tensor field, but…

Many known Radon-type transforms of symmetric (radial or zonal) functions are represented by one-dimensional Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals or their modifications. The present article contains new examples of such transforms in the…
On a (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold of dimension n > 2, the space of tensors which transform covariantly under Weyl rescalings of the metric is built. This construction is related to a Weyl-covariant operator D whose commutator [D,D] gives…
