On Radon transforms on compact Lie groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show that the Radon transform related to closed geodesics is injective on a Lie group if and only if the connected components are not homeomorphic to S1 nor to S3. This is true for both smooth functions and distributions. The key ingredients of the proof are finding totally geodesic tori and realizing the Radon transform as a family of symmetric operators indexed by nontrivial homomorphisms from S1.
