The Light Ray transform on Lorentzian manifolds

Abstract

We study the weighted light ray transform L of integrating functions on a Lorentzian manifold over lightlike geodesics. We analyze L as a Fourier Integral Operator and show that if there are no conjugate points, one can recover the spacelike singularities of a function f from its the weighted light ray transform Lf by a suitable filtered back-projection.
