| contents | In dimensions $\geq 3$, we prove that the X-ray transform of symmetric tensors of arbitrary degree is generically injective with respect to the metric on closed Anosov manifolds and on manifolds with spherical strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points and a hyperbolic trapped set. This has two immediate corollaries: local spectral rigidity, and local marked length spectrum rigidity (building on earlier work by Guillarmou, Knieper and the second author [arXiv:1806.04218], [arXiv:1909.08666]), in a neighbourhood of a generic Anosov metric. In both cases, this is the first work going beyond the negatively curved assumption or dimension $2$.
Our method, initiated in [arXiv:2008.09191] and fully developed in the present paper, is based on a perturbative argument of the $0$-eigenvalue of elliptic operators via microlocal analysis which turn the analytic problem of injectivity into an algebraic problem of representation theory. When the manifold is equipped with a Hermitian vector bundle together with a unitary connection, we also show that the twisted X-ray transform of symmetric tensors (with values in that bundle) is generically injective with respect to the connection. This property turns out to be crucial when solving the $\textit{holonomy inverse problem}$, as studied in a subsequent article [arXiv:2105.06376]. |
