Review text

The invertibility of the geodesic X-ray transform is considered, which relates to the inverse problem of whether one can determine a function from its X-ray transform. This problem can be viewed as the linearization of the boundary rigidity problem, i.e., whether Riemannian metrics can be determined from the lengths of their geodesics. The authors consider the tensorial geodesic X-ray transform on asymptotically conic spaces and prove its invertibility on \(1\)-forms and \(2\)-tensors by using the one-cusp pseudo-differential operator algebra and its semiclassical foliation version introduced by one of the authors [\textit{A. Vasy} and \textit{E. Zachos}, Pure Appl. Anal. 6, No. 3, 693--730 (2024; Zbl 07948541)]. Compared to the case of functions, the invertibility of the tensorial X-ray transform needs to overcome the complication caused by the natural kernel of the transform consisting of potential tensors, which is resolved by arranging a modified solenoidal gauge condition.
