Radon transform on symmetric matrix domains

Abstract: Let

be the field of real, complex or quaternionic numbers and

the vector space of all

p i m e s q

-matrices. Let

X

be the matrix unit ball in

consisting of contractive matrices. As a symmetric space,

X = G / K = O (n - r, r) / O (n - r) i m e s O (r)

,

U (n - r, r) / U (n - r) i m e s U (r)

and respectively

S p (n - r, r) / S p (n - r) i m e s S p (r)

. The matrix unit ball

y_{0}

in

M_{r^{p} r i m e - r, r}

with

r^{p} r i m e l e n - 1

is a totally geodesic submanifold of

X

and let

Y

be the set of all

G

-translations of the submanifold

y_{0}

. The set

Y

is then a manifold and an affine symmetric space. We consider the Radon transform

m a t h c a l R f (y)

for functions

f i n C_{0}^{i} n f t y (X)

defined by integration of

f

over the subset

y

, and the dual transform

m a t h c a l R^{t} F (x), x i n X

for functions

F (y)

on

Y

. We find inversion formulas by constructing explicit certain invariant differential operators.
