On the spherical slice transform

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study the spherical slice transform which assigns to a function on the n-dimensional unit sphere the integrals of that function over cross-sections of the sphere by k-dimensional affine planes passing through the north pole. These transforms are well known when k=n. We consider all 1<k<n+1 and obtain an explicit formula connecting the spherical slice transform with the classical Radon-John transform over (k1)-dimensional planes in the n-dimensional Euclidean space. Using this connection, known facts for the Radon-John transform, like inversion formulas, support theorems, representation on zonal functions, and others, can be reformulated for the spherical slice transform.
