Integral geometry and manifolds of minimal degree in CP^ n

A family of submanifolds is called admissible if the values of each smooth function f can be recaptured from the integrals of f over the submanifolds from the family. Starting with the classical example of the inversion formula for the Radon transform, the author constructs a class of families of hypersurfaces together with explicit inversion formulas. The author proves the admissibility of the family of the hyperplane sections of an n-dimensional submanifold of minimal degree \(X^ n\subset {\mathbb{C}}P^ N\) tangent to N-n fixed algebraic submanifolds. He also obtains a partial converse to this theorem. The author studies a differential geometric application along the lines of \textit{I. M. Gel'fand}, \textit{S. G. Gindikin} and \textit{Z. Ya. Shapiro} [Funct. Anal. Appl. 13, 87-102 (1979); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 13, No.2, 11-31 (1979; Zbl 0415.53046)]. He shows that admissible families of algebraic curves consist of the geodesics of a suitable affine connection.
