Summary of tensor tomography proofs on manifolds with boundaries.

We give sharp upper bounds on the injectivity radii of complete hyperbolic surfaces of finite area with some geodesic boundary components. The given bounds are over all such surfaces with any fixed topology; in particular, boundary lengths are not fixed. This extends the first author's result to the with-boundary setti…

Cobordism of Haken $n$-manifolds is defined by a Haken $(n+1)$-manifold $W$ whose boundary has two components, each of which is a closed Haken $n$-manifold. In addition, the inclusion map of the fundamental group of each boundary component to $π_1(W)$ is injective. In this paper we prove that there are 4-dimensional Ha…

Geodesic X-ray transform proves injective for smooth one-forms on gas giant manifolds.

In this paper we propose and solve an optimal dividend problem with capital injections over a finite time horizon. The surplus dynamics obeys a linearly controlled drifted Brownian motion that is reflected at the origin, dividends give rise to time-dependent instantaneous marginal profits, whereas capital injections ar…

The paper is concerned with regularity properties of boundaries of causal pasts of points in a 3+1-dimensional Einstein-vacuum spacetime. In a Lorentzian manifold such boundaries play crucial role in propagation of linear and nonlinear waves. We prove a uniform lower bound on the radius of injectivity of these null bou…

Study big mapping class groups and their co-Hopfian property, finding new examples and proving injective homomorphisms results.

This paper explores and ties together three themes. The first is to establish regularity of a metric tensor, on a manifold with boundary, on which there are given Ricci curvature bounds, on the manifold and its boundary, and a Lipschitz bound on the mean curvature of the boundary. The second is to establish geometric c…

Injectivity of geodesic ray transform on specific Finsler manifolds proven.

Study coning totally geodesic boundaries of hyperbolic manifolds.

Under the assumption that the X-ray transform over symmetric solenoidal 2-tensors is injective, we prove that smooth compact connected manifolds with strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points and a hyperbolic trapped set are locally marked boundary rigid.

Proposes a novel method for generating hard negatives near time series data boundaries.

We consider the boundary rigidity problem for asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. We show injectivity of the X-ray transform in several cases and consider the non-linear inverse problem which consists of recovering a metric from boundary measurements for the geodesic flow.

Study bounds changes in hyperbolic 3-manifold structures after drilling short geodesics.

We consider the class of compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with cylindrical boundary, Ricci curvature bounded below by a given constant and injectivity radius bounded below by a positive constant, away from the boundary. For a manifold M of this class, we introduce a notion of discretization, leading to a grap…

Proves X-ray transform injectivity on specific manifolds.

We prove that every injective simplicial map $\mathcal{F}(S) \to \mathcal{F}(S')$ between flip graphs is induced by a subsurface inclusion $S\to S'$, except in finitely many cases. This extends a result of Korkmaz--Papadopoulos which asserts that every automorphism of the flip graph of a surface without boundary is ind…

For smooth compact connected manifolds with strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points and a hyperbolic trapped set, we prove an equivalence principle concerning the injectivity of the X-ray transform $I_m$ on symmetric solenoidal tensors and the surjectivity of an operator ${π_m}_*$ on the set of solenoidal tensors…

We consider the question of how many essential Seifert Klein bottles with common boundary slope a knot in S^3 can bound, up to ambient isotopy. We prove that any hyperbolic knot in S^3 bounds at most six Seifert Klein bottles with a given boundary slope. The Seifert Klein bottles in a minimal projection of hyperbolic p…

Transforms uniquely determine Higgs fields on real-analytic manifolds.

We prove that each injective simplicial map from the arc complex of a compact, connected, nonorientable surface with nonempty boundary to itself is induced by a homeomorphism of the surface. We also prove that the automorphism group of the arc complex is isomorphic to the quotient of the mapping class group of the surf…

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components, and $\mathcal{C}(N)$ be the complex of curves of $N$. Suppose that $g + n \leq 3$ or $g + n \geq 5$. If $λ: \mathcal{C}(N) \rightarrow \mathcal{C}(N)$ is an injective simplicial map, then $λ$ is induced by a homeomorphism …

We show that if the totally geodesic boundary of a compact hyperbolic 3-manifold M has a large collar of depth d, then the diameter of the skinning map of M is no more than A exp(-d) for some A depending only on the genus and injectivity radius of the boundary of M.

The study of $PD_3$-pairs extends results for aspherical 3-manifolds.

The paper shows how sublinearly Morse boundaries can be understood through combinatorial methods.

For a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, endowed with a magnetic potential $α$, we consider the problem of restoring the metric $g$ and the magnetic potential $α$ from the values of the Mañé action potential between boundary points and the associated linearized problem. We study simple magnetic systems. In this…

We study the boundary and lens rigidity problems on domains without assuming the convexity of the boundary. We show that such rigidities hold when the domain is a simply connected compact Riemannian surface without conjugate points. For the more general class of non-trapping compact Riemannian surfaces with no conjugat…

We reduce boundary determination of an unknown function and its normal derivatives from the (possibly weighted and attenuated) broken ray data to the injectivity of certain geodesic ray transforms on the boundary. For determination of the values of the function itself we obtain the usual geodesic ray transform, but for…

Given a Lorentzian manifold, the light ray transform of a function is its integrals along null geodesics. This paper is concerned with the injectivity of the light ray transform on functions and tensors, up to the natural gauge for the problem. First, we study the injectivity of the light ray transform of a scalar func…

We consider the nonlinear problem of determining a connection and a Higgs field from the corresponding parallel transport along geodesics on a Riemannian manifold with boundary, in any dimension. The problem can be reduced to an integral geometry question of some attenuated geodesic ray transform through a pseudolinear…

Let (M,g) be an analytic, compact, Riemannian manifold with boundary, of dimension n >= 2. We study a class of generalized Radon transforms, integrating over a family of hypersurfaces embedded in M, satisfying the Bolker condition [23]. Using analytic microlocal analysis, we prove a microlocal regularity theorem for ge…

In this paper we consider the Gaussian thermostat ray transform on both closed Riemannian surfaces and compact Riemannian surfaces with boundary. We establish certain results on the injectivity of the thermostat ray transform and the surjectivity of its adjoint.

The Riemannian hemisphere has a lower bound for its mass.

A version of a conjecture of McMullen is as follows: Given a hyperbolizable 3-manifold M with incompressible boundary, there exists a uniform constant K such that if N is a hyperbolic 3-manifold homeomorphic to the interior of M, then the injectivity radius based at points in the convex core of N is bounded above by K.…

We study the weighted integral transform on a compact manifold with boundary over a smooth family of curves $Γ$. We prove generic injectivity and a stability estimate under the condition that the conormal bundle of $Γ$ covers $T^*M$.

The main aim is an understanding of the relationship of the topology and geometry of a limiting sequence of manifolds-with-boundary to that of a limit space, which is presumed to be without geodesic terminals. The main result e…
