In this paper, partly based on Zachos’ PhD thesis, we show that the geodesic X-ray
transform is stably invertible near infinity on a class of asymptotically conic
manifolds which includes perturbations of Euclidean space. In particular certain
kinds of conjugate points are allowed. Further, under a global convex foliation
condition, the transform is globally invertible.
The key analytic tool, beyond the approach introduced by Uhlmann and Vasy, is
the introduction of a new pseudodifferential operator algebra, which we name the
1-cusp algebra, and its semiclassical version.
