Invariant distributions and X-ray transform for Anosov flows

For Anosov flows preserving a smooth measure on a closed manifold $\mathcal{M}$, we define a natural self-adjoint operator $\Pi$ which maps into the space of invariant distributions in $\cap_{u<0} H^{u}(\mathcal{M})$ and whose kernel is made of coboundaries in $\cup_{s>0} H^{s}(\mathcal{M})$. We describe relations to Livsic theorem and recover regularity properties of cohomological equations using this operator. For Anosov geodesic flows on the unit tangent bundle $\mathcal{M}=SM$ of a compact manifold, we apply this theory to study questions related to $X$-ray transform on symmetric tensors on $M$: in particular we prove that injectivity implies surjectivity of X-ray transform, and we show injectivity for surfaces.Comment: 30 pages, few corrections and new results (e.g. the image of $\Pi$ is dense among invariant distributions

Calderon inverse Problem with partial data on Riemann Surfaces

On a fixed smooth compact Riemann surface with boundary $(M_0,g)$, we show that for the Schr\"odinger operator $\Delta +V$ with potential $V\in C^{1,\alpha}(M_0)$ for some $\alpha>0$, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map $N|_{\Gamma}$ measured on an open set $\Gamma\subset \partial M_0$ determines uniquely the potential $V$. We also discuss briefly the corresponding consequences for potential scattering at 0 frequency on Riemann surfaces with asymptotically Euclidean or asymptotically hyperbolic ends.Comment: 27 pages.

Resolvent at low energy and Riesz transform for Schrodinger operators on asymptotically conic manifolds, I

We analyze the resolvent $R(k)=(P+k^2)^{-1}$ of Schr\"odinger operators $P=\Delta+V$ with short range potential $V$ on asymptotically conic manifolds $(M,g)$ (this setting includes asymptotically Euclidean manifolds) near $k=0$. We make the assumption that the dimension is greater or equal to 3 and that $P$ has no $L^2$ null space and no resonance at 0. In particular, we show that the Schwartz kernel of $R(k)$ is a conormal polyhomogeneous distribution on a desingularized version of $M\times M\times [0,1]$. Using this, we show that the Riesz transform of $P$ is bounded on $L^p$ for $1<p<n$ and that this range is optimal if $V$ is not identically zero or if $M$ has more than one end. We also analyze the case V=0 with one end. In a follow-up paper, we shall deal with the same problem in the presence of zero modes and zero-resonances.Comment: 28 pages, 1 figur
