Radon Transform: Dual Pairs and Irreducible Representations

by G. Alberti and F. Bartolucci and F. De Mari and E. De Vito

(Report number 2020-40)

Abstract
We illustrate the general point of view we developed in an earlier paper ([SIAM J.\ Math.\ Anal., 2019]) that can be described as a variation of Helgason's theory of dual \(G\)-homogeneous pairs \((X,\Xi)\) and which allows us to prove intertwining properties and inversion formulae of many existing Radon transforms. Here we analyze in detail one of the important aspects in the theory of dual pairs, namely the injectivity of the map label-to-manifold \(\xi\to\hat\xi\) and we prove that it is a necessary condition for the irreducibility of the quasi-regular representation of \(G\) on \(L^2(\Xi)\). We further explain how our construction applies to the classical Radon and X-ray transforms in \(\mathbb R^3\).

Keywords: homogeneous spaces, Radon transform, dual pairs, square-integrable representations, inversion formula, wavelets, shearlets
