Uniform estimates for the X-ray transform restricted to polynomial curves (Q428834)

The authors consider the restricted X-ray transform \(X_{\text{full}}\) on \(\mathcal G\) the set of lines whose directions are parameterized by a fixed polynomial curve \(\gamma:\mathbb R \to \mathbb R^{d-1}\). The resulting restricted X-ray transform, after reparametrizing, maps functions on \(\mathbb R^d\) to function on \(\mathbb R^d\) \[ X^\gamma f(t, y) = \int_\mathbb R f( s, y + s\gamma (t)) ds. \] The near optimal mixed norm estimates are obtained for \(X^\gamma\) of the form \(\|X^\gamma f\|_{L^q(L^r)} \leq \|f\|_{L^p}\) where \(L^q(L^r)\) is the space whose norm is given by \[ \|g\|_{L^q(L^r)} = \left(\int_\mathbb R\left(\int_{\mathbb R^{d-1}}|g(t,y)|^r dy\right)^{\frac{q}{r}} dt\right)^{\frac1r}. \] The bounds that are established depend only on the spatial dimension and the degree of the polynomial. Some results are interesting and new.
