We study a solenoidal-potential type decomposition of a symmetric $m$-tensor field in $\Rb^2$, and its implications to injectivity questions for the momentum and elastic ray transforms. For symmetric tensor fields, a general decomposition…

We assign some kind of invariant manifolds to a given integrable PDE (its discrete or semi-discrete variant). First, we linearize the equation around its arbitrary solution $u$. Then we construct a differential (respectively, difference)…

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…

We classify maximal totally geodesic submanifolds in exceptional symmetric spaces up to isometry. Moreover, we introduce an invariant for certain totally geodesic embeddings of semisimple symmetric spaces, which we call the Dynkin index. We…

This paper is a review on recently found connection between geodesically equivalent metrics and integrable geodesic flows. Suppose two different metrics on one manifold have the same geodesics. We show that then the geodesic flows of these…

In this paper, we present strongly geodesic preinvexity on Riemannian manifolds (RM) and strongly {\eta}-invexity of order m on RM. Furthermore, we define strongly invariant {\eta}-monotonicity of order m on RM. Under Condition C, an…

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…
