Radon transforms on Grassmannians and Matrix Spaces
[ Abstract ]
Diverse geometric problems in $R^N$ get a new flavor if a generic point $x=(x_1,...,x_N)$ is regarded as a matrix with appropriately organized entries (set, e.g., $x=(x_{i,j})_{n \\times m}$ for $N=nm$). This well known observation has led to a series of breakthrough achievements in mathematics. In integral geometry it suggests a number of the so-called ``higher-rank" problems when such traditional scalar notions as ``distance", ``angle", and ``scaling" become matrix-valued. I will be speaking about Radon transforms on Grassmann manifolds and matrix spaces and some related problems of harmonic analysis where these phenomena come into play.
