Klappentext zu „Integral Geometry and Radon Transforms “
In this text, integral geometry deals with Radon's problem of representing a function on a manifold in terms of its integrals over certain submanifolds-hence the term the Radon transform. Examples and far-reaching generalizations lead to fundamental problems such as: (i) injectivity, (ii) inversion formulas, (iii) support questions, (iv) applications (e.g., to tomography, partial di erential equations and group representations). For the case of the plane, the inversion theorem and the support theorem have had major applications in medicine through tomography and CAT scanning. While containing some recent research, the book is aimed at beginning graduate students for classroom use or self-study. A number of exercises point to further results with documentation. From the reviews: "Integral Geometry is a fascinating area, where numerous branches of mathematics meet together. the contents of the book is concentrated around the duality and double vibration, which is realized through the masterful treatment of a variety of examples. the book is written by an expert, who has made fundamental contributions to the area." -Boris Rubin, Louisiana State University

Rezension zu „Integral Geometry and Radon Transforms “
From the reviews:"This specialist book in the field of geometric analysis is intended for graduate students and professionals. ... The field has several applications including medical X-ray technology and tomography. The nine-chapter volume devotes a chapter to these technologies and other applications. The book is largely self-contained, and includes a chapter at the end with necessary background material ... . The volume includes a substantial bibliography, and each chapter concludes with bibliographic notes. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above." (D. Z. Spicer, Choice, Vol. 48 (11), August, 2011)"Integral Geometry and Radon Transforms is truly a pedagogical contribution by a master in this field, aiming at providing proper background - and then some - for entry into real work on the topics he brings into the spotlight. ... every page is filled with serious mathematics, and Helgason provides a lot of commentary and references that ought to be pursued by those wishing to enter the field. It is a marvelous example of fine scholarship." (Michael Berg, The Mathematical Association of America, January, 2011)"The book under review is devoted to integral operators of geometric nature. The monograph deals with the problem of representing a function on a manifold in terms of its integrals over certain submanifolds - hence the term Radon transform. ... The book will be of interest for both students and specialists in integral geometry, analysis on homogeneous spaces and partial differential equations. It may serve as a source for further research in the area." (Valery Vladimirovich Volchkov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1210, 2011)
