Some questions on integral geometry on noncompact symmetric spaces of higher rank (Q1950335)

The paper under review deals with some properties of two types of averages of functions on symmetric spaces of the noncompact type. The authors consider the averages over level sets of the heat kernel and spherical means with respect to geodesic spheres. If the rank of the space is one then the first type of averages corresponds to means over geodesic balls. In the case of higher ranks it seems to be the natural generalization of certain problems of integral geometry. The authors prove some injectivity results for functions in \(L^p\) extending correspondent results by V. Pati and A. Sitaram. We note that various definitive injectivity results can be found in [\textit{V. V. Volchkov} and \textit{Vit. V. Volchkov}, Harmonic analysis of mean periodic functions on symmetric spaces and the Heisenberg group. Berlin: Springer (2009; Zbl 1192.43007)].
