| Abstract: | Radon phenomenon (the terminology is due to L. Ehrenpreis) addresses the situations when one can judge the properties of an object (a function or a manifold) from its restrictions to certain subsets (submanifolds, sections, slices...).
In context of PDEs, one wants to know whether a function is a solution of a given PDE if it coincides with solutions of this PDE on a family of submanifolds. In complex analysis, one deals with Cauchy-Riemann equation and is led to a problem of characterization of holomorphic or CR functions or, more generally, holomorphic or CR manifolds, or their boundaries, in terms of zero complex moments on varieties of closed curves.
I will present a survey of results of this nature obtained in the last decade for elliptic and Cauchy-Riemann equations. Problems of this type arise, in particular, in integral geometry and tomography. |
