The inversion of the X-ray Transform on a Compact Symmetric Space

Representation Theory 2007-05-23 v6 Differential Geometry

Abstract

The X-ray transform on a compact symmetric space M is here inverted by means of an explicit inversion formula. The proof uses the conjugacy of the minimal closed geodesics in M and of the maximally curved totally geodesic spheres in M, proved in Math. Ann. 165 (1966), 309--317.
