AbstractWe show that a vector field in {\mathbb{R}^{n}} can be reconstructed uniquely from the knowledge of restricted Doppler and first integral moment transforms. The line complex we consider consists of all lines passing through a fixed curve {\gamma\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}}. The question of reconstruction of a symmetric m-tensor field from the knowledge of the first {m+1} integral moments was posed by Sharafutdinov [Integral Geometry of Tensor Fields, Inverse Ill-posed Probl. Ser. 1, De Gruyter, Berlin, 1994, p. 78]. In this work, we provide an answer to Sharafutdinov’s question for the case of vector fields from restricted data comprising of the first two integral moment transforms.

This chapter introduces tensor fields, covariant derivatives and the geodesic equation on a (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold. It discusses how symmetries of a general space-time can be found from the Killing equation, and how the existence of Killing vector fields is connected to global conservation laws.
