We prove that a function on an irreducible compact symmetric space M, which is not a sphere, is determined by its integrals over the shortest closed geodesics in M. We also prove a support theorem for the Funk transform on rank one…

It is known that the Funk transform (the Funk-Radon transform) is invertible in the class of even (symmetric) continuous functions defined on the unit 2-sphere S^2. In this article, for the reconstruction of f from C(S^2) (can be non-even),…

We obtain new inversion formulas for the Radon transform and its dual between lines and hyperplanes in $\rn$. The Radon transform in this setting is non-injective and the consideration is restricted to the so-called quasi-radial functions…
Non-relativistic particles that are effectively confined to two dimensions can in general move on curved surfaces, allowing dynamical phenomena beyond what can be described with scalar potentials or even vector gauge fields. Here we…
Hyperplane is a set of non-injectivity of the spherical Radon transform (SRT) in the space of continuous functions in R^d. In this article, for the reconstruction of an unknown function f from C(R^3) (the support can be non-compact), using…

The circular Radon transform integrates a function over the set of all spheres with a given set of centers. The problem of injectivity of this transform (as well as inversion formulas, range descriptions, etc.) arises in many fields from…
The Funk-Radon transform, also known as the spherical Radon transform, assigns to a function on the sphere its mean values along all great circles. Since its invention by Paul Funk in 1911, the Funk-Radon transform has been generalized to…
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…
In spherical surface wave tomography, one measures the integrals of a function defined on the sphere along great circle arcs. This forms a generalization of the Funk--Radon transform, which assigns to a function its integrals along full…
