On the kernel of a hemispherical Funk transformation and its local analogs (Q460744)

The authors summarize the contents of this paper in the abstract and the introduction as follows: Functions on a sphere with zero weighted means over all geodesic balls of a fixed radius are studied. We obtain a description of such functions in the form of series in special functions. The case under consideration is of interest, since the presence of a weight in integrals does not allow one to write the indicated integral condition in the form of a convolution equation with radial distribution whose theory was well developed recently by \textit{V. V. Volchkov} [Integral geometry and convolution equations. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers (2003; Zbl 1043.53003)] and by \textit{V. V. Volchkov} and \textit{V. V. Volchkov} [Harmonic analysis of mean periodic functions on symmetric spaces and the Heisenberg group. Berlin: Springer (2009; Zbl 1192.43007); Offbeat integral geometry on symmetric spaces. Basel: Birkhäuser (2013; Zbl 1277.53002)]. In particular, the general theory of transmutative operators, which is a powerful tool for the study of the properties of solutions of the convolution equations on various homogeneous spaces [Zbl 1192.43007, Part 2], is inapplicable in this case.
