The paper surveys recent progress in establishing uniqueness and developing inversion formulas and algorithms for the thermoacoustic tomography. In mathematical terms, one deals with a rather special inverse problem for the wave equation. In the case of constant sound speed, it can also be interpreted as a problem concerning the spherical mean transform.
The problem of image reconstruction in thermoacoustic tomography requires inversion of a generalized Radon transform, which integrates the unknown function over circles in 2D or spheres in 3D. The paper investigates implementation of the recently discovered backprojection type inversion formulas for the case of spherical acquisition in 3D. A numerical simulation of the data acquisition with subsequent reconstructions are made for the Defrise phantom as well as for some other phantoms. Both full and partial scan situations are considered. The results are compared with the implementation of a previously used approximate inversion formula.
In this paper, we investigate the geometry of the base complex manifold of an effectively parametrized holomorphic family of stable Higgs bundles over a fixed compact K{a}hler manifold. The starting point of our study is Schumacher-Toma/Biswas-Schumachers curvature formulas for Weil-Petersson-type metrics, in Sect. 2, we give some applications of their formulas on the geometric properties of the base manifold. In Sect. 3, we calculate the curvature on the higher direct image bundle, which recovers Biswas-Schumachers curvature formula. In Sect. 4, we construct a smooth and strongly pseudo-convex complex Finsler metric for the base manifold, the corresponding holomorphic sectional curvature is calculated explicitly.
We review previous work on spectral flow in connection with certain self-adjoint model operators ${A(t)}_{tin mathbb{R}}$ on a Hilbert space $mathcal{H}$, joining endpoints $A_pm$, and the index of the operator $D_{A}^{}= (d/d t) + A$ acting in $L^2(mathbb{R}; mathcal{H})$, where $A$ denotes the operator of multiplication $(A f)(t) = A(t)f(t)$. In this article we review what is known when these operators have some essential spectrum and describe some new results in terms of associated spectral shift functions. We are especially interested in extensions to non-Fredholm situations, replacing the Fredholm index by the Witten index, and use a particular $(1+1)$-dimensional model setup to illustrate our approach based on spectral shift functions.
We present a paradigm for characterization of artifacts in limited data tomography problems. In particular, we use this paradigm to characterize artifacts that are generated in reconstructions from limited angle data with generalized Radon transforms and general filtered backprojection type operators. In order to find when visible singularities are imaged, we calculate the symbol of our reconstruction operator as a pseudodifferential operator.
