Abstract
In this paper we study the local magnetic ray transform of symmetric tensor fields up to rank two on a Riemannian manifold of dimension with boundary. In particular, we consider the magnetic ray transform of the combinations of tensors of different orders due to the nature of magnetic flows. We show that such magnetic ray transforms can be stably inverted, up to natural obstructions, near a strictly convex (with respect to magnetic geodesics) boundary point. Moreover, a global invertibility result follows on a compact Riemannian manifold with strictly convex boundary assuming that some global foliation condition is satisfied.
