Abstract

Let DD be a bounded domain in Rn,\mathbb R^n, with smooth boundary. Denote VD(ω,t), ωSn1,tR,V_D(\omega,t), \ \omega \in S^{n-1}, t \in \mathbb R, the Radon transform of the characteristic function χD\chi_{D} of the domain D,D, i.e., the (n1)(n-1)- dimensional volume of the intersection DD with the hyperplane {xRn:<ω,x>=t}.\{x \in \mathbb R^n: <\omega,x>=t \}. If the domain DD is an ellipsoid, then the function VDV_D is algebraic and if, in addition, the dimension nn is odd, then V(ω,t)V(\omega,t) is a polynomial with respect to t.t. Whether odd-dimensional ellipsoids are the only bounded smooth domains with such a property? The article is devoted to partial verification and discussion of this question.
