We prove that the geodesic X-ray transform is injective on scalar functions and (solenoidally) on one-forms on simple Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ with $g \in C^{1,1}$. In addition to a proof, we produce a redefinition of simplicity that is…

On gas giant planets the speed of sound is isotropic and goes to zero at the surface. Geometrically, this corresponds to a Riemannian manifold whose metric tensor has a conformal blow-up near the boundary. The blow-up is tamer than in…

We prove solenoidal injectivity for the geodesic X-ray transform of tensor fields on simple Riemannian manifolds with $C^{1,1}$ metrics and non-positive sectional curvature. The proof of the result rests on Pestov energy estimates for a…

We consider the attenuated geodesic ray transform defined on pairs of symmetric $2$-tensors and $1$-forms on a simple Riemannian manifold. We prove injectivity and stability results for a class of generic simple metrics and attenuations…

It has been shown in [Pa1] that on a simple, compact Riemannian 2-manifold the attenuated geodesic ray transform, with attenuation given by a connection and Higgs field, is injective on functions and 1-forms modulo the natural obstruction.…

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…
