Singular Value Decomposition for the X-ray Transforms on the Reduced Heisenberg Group, and a Two-Radius Theorem

Abstract

We give an explicit Singular Value Decomposition of the sub-Riemannian X-ray transform on the Heisenberg group with compact center. By studying the singular values, we obtain a two-radius theorem for integrals over sub-Riemannian geodesics. We also state intertwining properties of distinguished differential operators. We conclude with a description of ongoing work.
