1 The 34th Czech Winter School in Geometry and Physics, Srní p. 1/13 The X-ray transform: part II Michael Eastwood [ Toby Bailey Robin Graham Hubert Goldschmidt ] Lionel Mason Rod Gover Laurent Stolovitch Eduard Čech Institute The simplest X-ray transform is a version of the Radon transform in three dimensions. One starts with suitably decaying function of three variables and integrates it over the lines in Euclidean three-space obtaining a function on the four-dimensional space of lines. This transform is often named after John who identified its range in There are many variations on this theme! There is a compactified version, due to Funk in There is a complex version, due to Bateman in Nowadays, there are all sorts of X-ray transforms and the purpose of these lectures will be to describe the links between them and to use representation theory and differential geometry to establish their range and kernel in various cases.
