Support Theorems and an Injectivity Result for Integral Moments of a Symmetric m-Tensor Field

Abstract

In this work, we show an injectivity result and support theorems for integral moments of a m-tensor field on a simple, real analytic, Riemannian manifold. Integral moments of m-tensor field were first introduced by Sharafutdinov. At first we generalize a Helgason type support theorem proven by Krishnan and Stefanov in "A support theorem for the geodesic ray transform of symmetric tensor fields", Inverse Problems and Imaging, 3(3):453-464,2009. We use this extended result along with the first m+1-integral moments of a m-tensor field to prove the aforementioned results.
