An integral geometry problem in a nonconvex domain
V. A. Sharafutdinov Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Abstract:
We consider the problem of recovering the solenoidal part of a symmetric tensor field $f$ on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with boundary from the integrals of $f$ over all geodesics joining boundary points. All previous results on the problem are obtained under the assumption that the boundary $\partial M$ is convex. This assumption is related to the fact that the family of maximal geodesics has the structure of a smooth manifold if $\partial M$ is convex and there is no geodesic of infinite length in $\partial M$. This implies that the ray transform of a smooth field is a smooth function and so we may use analytic techniques. Instead of convexity of $\partial M$ we assume that $\partial M$ is a smooth domain in a larger Riemannian manifold with convex boundary and the problem under consideration admits a stability estimate. We then prove uniqueness of a solution to the problem for $\partial M$.
