Let $X$ be a conical symplectic variety admitting a crepant resolution $Y$. Based on the theory of universal Poisson deformations, we construct a complex manifold called the principal twistor model associated with $Y$. We prove a…

We show injectivity of the geodesic X-ray transform on piecewise constant functions when the transform is weighted by a continuous matrix weight. The manifold is assumed to be compact and nontrapping of any dimension, and in dimension three…

We initiate a study of the inversion of the geodesic X-ray transform $I_m$ over symmetric $m$-tensor fields on asymptotically hyperbolic surfaces. This operator has a non-trivial kernel whenever $m\ge 1$. To propose a gauge representative…

In this paper we consider the local X-ray transform for general flows. We extend the results on the local and global invertibility of the geodesic ray transform proved by Uhlmann and Vasy \cite{UV} to the X-ray transform for a general flow.…

Given a Lorentzian manifold, the light ray transform of a function is its integrals along null geodesics. This paper is concerned with the injectivity of the light ray transform on functions and tensors, up to the natural gauge for the…

In this paper we study the local magnetic ray transform of symmetric tensor fields up to rank two on a Riemannian manifold of dimension $\geq 3$ with boundary. In particular, we consider the magnetic ray transform of the combinations of…

This is the third of three papers about the Compression Theorem: if M^m is embedded in Q^q X R with a normal vector field and if q-m > 0, then the given vector field can be straightened (ie, made parallel to the given R direction) by an…

We consider the inverse problem of recovering a connection on a complex vector bundle over a compact smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary from a Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DN) map at a high fixed frequency. We construct Gaussian beams using…

We consider the inverse problem of recovering a potential from the Dirichlet to Neumann map at a large fixed frequency on certain Riemannian manifolds. We extend the earlier result of [G. Uhlmann and Y. Wang, arXiv:2104.03477] to the case…

Using the thermodynamics formalism, we introduce a notion of intersection for projective Anosov representations, show analyticity results for the intersection and the entropy, and rigidity results for the intersection. We use the…

This article is the second in a series of two whose aim is to extend a recent result of Guillarmou-Lefeuvre [arXiv:1806.04218] on the local rigidity of the marked length spectrum from the case of compact negatively-curved Riemannian…

We show that a quasi-geodesic in an injective metric space is Morse if and only if it is strongly contracting. Since mapping class groups and, more generally, hierarchically hyperbolic groups act properly and coboundedly on injective metric…

Suppose that $N$ is a smooth manifold with a smooth Riemannian metric $g_0$, and that $\Gamma$ is a smooth submanifold of $N$. This paper proves that for a generic (in the sense of Baire category) smooth metric $g$ conformal to $g_0$, if…
