Ray Transforms on a Conformal Class of Curves (1011.0453v3)

Abstract: We introduce a technique for recovering a sufficiently smooth function from its ray transform over a wide class of curves in a general region of Euclidean space. The method is based on a complexification of the underlying vector fields defining the initial transport and recasting the problem in terms of complex-analytic function theory. Explicit inversion formulae are then given in a unified form. The method is then used to give inversion formulae for the attenuated ray transform.
