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 study the light ray transform acting on tensors on a stationary Lorentzian manifold. Our main result is injectivity up to the natural obstruction as long as the associated magnetic vector field satisfies a finite degree property with…

In this work, we show an injectivity result and support theorems for integral moments of a m-tensor field on a simple, real analytic, Riemannian manifold. Integral moments of m-tensor field were first introduced by Sharafutdinov. At first…

We prove that every homogeneous flow on a finite-volume homogeneous manifold has countably many independent invariant distributions unless it is conjugate to a linear flow on a torus. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for every…

We study the microlocal inversion of the ray transform on symmetric $m$-tensor fields restricted to all lines passing through a curve in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. From this incomplete data, we show that the wavefront set of the solenoidal component…

An analogue of the Stefan-Sussmann Theorem on manifolds with boundary is proven for normal distributions. These distributions contain vectors transverse to the boundary along its entirety. Plain integral manifolds are not enough to…
