Let Im denote the Euclidean ray transform acting on compactly supported symmetric m-tensor field distributions f, and I∗m be its formal L2 adjoint. We study a unique continuation result for the operator Nm=I∗mIm. More precisely, we show that if Nmf vanishes to infinite order at a point x0 and if the Saint-Venant operator W acting on f vanishes on an open set containing x0, then f is a potential tensor field. This generalizes two recent works of Ilmavirta and Mönkkönen who proved such unique continuation results for the ray transform of functions and vector fields/1-forms. One of the main contributions of this work is identifying the Saint-Venant operator acting on higher-order tensor fields as the right generalization of the exterior derivative operator acting on 1-forms, which makes unique continuation results for ray transforms of higher-order tensor fields possible. In the second half of the paper, we prove analogous unique continuation results for momentum ray and transverse ray transforms.

X-ray Tomography of One-forms with Partial Data
Ilmavirta, Joonas; Mönkkönen, Keijo (Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM), 2021)If the integrals of a one-form over all lines meeting a small open set vanish and the form is closed in this set, then the one-form is exact in the whole Euclidean space. We obtain a unique continuation result for the ... -

Sahoo, Suman Kumar; Salo, Mikko (Elsevier BV, 2023)In this article we consider a linearized Calderón problem for polyharmonic operators of order 2m (m ≥ 2) in the spirit of Calderón’s original work [7]. We give a uniqueness result for determining coefficients of order ≤ ... -
Tensor tomography in periodic slabs
Ilmavirta, Joonas; Uhlmann, Gunther (Academic Press, 2018)The X-ray transform on the periodic slab [0, 1]×Tn, n ≥ 0, has a non-trivial kernel due to the symmetry of the manifold and presence of trapped geodesics. For tensor fields gauge freedom increases the kernel further, and ... -
Unique continuation property and Poincaré inequality for higher order fractional Laplacians with applications in inverse problems
Covi, Giovanni; Mönkkönen, Keijo; Railo, Jesse (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2021)We prove a unique continuation property for the fractional Laplacian (−Δ)s when s∈(−n/2,∞)∖Z where n≥1. In addition, we study Poincaré-type inequalities for the operator (−Δ)s when s≥0. We apply the results to show that ...
