We prove two injectivity theorems for the geodesic ray transform on two-dimensional, complete, simply connected Riemannian manifolds with non-positive Gaussian curvature, also known as Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. The first theorem is…

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…

Consider a broken geodesics $\alpha([0,l])$ on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with boundary of dimension $n\geq 3$. The broken geodesics are unions of two geodesics with the property that they have a common end point. Assume that for…

We consider the broken ray transform on Riemann surfaces in the presence of an obstacle, following earlier work of Mukhometov. If the surface has nonpositive curvature and the obstacle is strictly convex, we show that a function is…
