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…

The geodesic ray transform, the mixed ray transform and the transverse ray transform of a tensor field on a manifold can all be seen as what we call mixing ray transforms, compositions of the geodesic ray transform and an invertible linear…

A compact Fuchsian manifold with boundary is a hyperbolic 3-manifold homeomorphic to $S_g \times [0; 1]$ such that the boundary component $S_g \times \{ 0\}$ is geodesic. We prove that a compact Fuchsian manifold with convex boundary is…
