We prove a sharp $L^2\to H^{1/2}$ stability estimate for the geodesic X-ray transform of tensor fields of order $0$, $1$ and $2$ on a simple Riemannian manifold with a suitable chosen $H^{1/2}$ norm. We show that such an estimate holds for…

We present two range characterizations for the attenuated geodesic X-ray transform defined on pairs of functions and one-forms on simple surfaces. Such characterizations are based on first isolating the range over sums of functions and…

For a one-parameter family of simple metrics of constant curvature ($4\kappa$ for $\kappa\in (-1,1)$) on the unit disk $M$, we first make explicit the Pestov-Uhlmann range characterization of the geodesic X-ray transform, by constructing a…

If $d$ is a boundary defining function for the Euclidean unit disk and $I$ denotes the geodesic X-ray transform, for $\gamma\in (-1,1)$, we study the singularly-weighted X-ray transforms $I_m d^\gamma$ acting on symmetric $m$-tensors. For…

Consider a compact Riemannian manifold in dimension $n\geq 3$ with strictly convex boundary. We show that the transverse ray transform of $1$ tensors and the mixed ray transform of $1+1$ tensors are invertible, up to natural obstructions,…

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 prove injectivity and a support theorem for the X-ray transform on $2$-step nilpotent Lie groups with many totally geodesic $2$-dimensional flats. The result follows from a general reduction principle for manifolds with uniformly…

We show that on a two-dimensional compact nontrapping Riemannian manifold with strictly convex boundary, a piecewise constant function can be recovered from its integrals over geodesics. We adapt the injectivity proof which uses variations…

The X-ray transform on the periodic slab $[0,1]\times\mathbb T^n$, $n\geq0$, has a non-trivial kernel due to the symmetry of the manifold and presence of trapped geodesics. For tensor fields gauge freedom increases the kernel further, and…
