    Extending the Support Theorem to Infinite Dimensions

    Get PDF
    The Radon transform is one of the most useful and applicable tools in functional analysis. First constructed by John Radon in 1917 it has now been adapted to several settings. One of the principle theorems involving the Radon transform is the Support Theorem. In this paper, we discuss how the Radon transform can be constructed in the white noise setting. We also develop a Support Theorem in this setting.Comment: 22 page

    Trkalian fields and Radon transformation

    Full text link
    We write the spherical curl transformation for Trkalian fields using differential forms. Then we consider Radon transform of these fields. The Radon transform of a Trkalian field satisfies a corresponding eigenvalue equation on a sphere in transform space. The field can be reconstructed using knowledge of the Radon transform on a canonical hemisphere. We consider relation of the Radon transformation with Biot-Savart integral operator and discuss its transform introducing Radon-Biot- Savart operator. The Radon transform of a Trkalian field is an eigenvector of this operator. We also present an Ampere law type relation for these fields. We apply these to Lundquist solution. We present a Chandrasekhar-Kendall type solution of the corresponding equation in the transform space. Lastly, we focus on the Euclidean topologically massive Abelian gauge theory. The Radon transform of an anti-self-dual field is related by antipodal map on this sphere to the transform of the self-dual field obtained by inverting space coordinates. The Lundquist solution provides an example of quantization of topological mass in this context.Comment: 23 page

    We generalize Y. Nievergelt's inversion method for the Radon transform on lines in the 2-plane to the kk-plane Radon transform of continuous and LpL^p functions on RnR^n for all 1k<n1\leq k<n.Comment: 9 page
