Abstract: | Explicit inversion formulas are obtained for the hemispherical transform(FΜ)(x) = Μ{y ∃S
n :x. y ≥ 0},x ∃S
n, whereS
n is thendimensional unit sphere in ℝn+1,n ≥ 2, and Μ is a finite Borel measure onS
n. If Μ is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measuredy onS
n, i.e.,dΜ(y) =f(y)dy, we write(F f)(x) = ∫
x.y> 0
f(y)dy and consider the following cases: (a)f ∃C
∞(Sn); (b)f ∃ Lp(S
n), 1 ≤ p < ∞; and (c)f ∃C(Sn). In the case (a), our inversion formulas involve a certain polynomial of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. In the remaining
cases, the relevant wavelet transforms are employed. The range ofF is characterized and the action in the scale of Sobolev spacesL
p
γ
(Sn) is studied. For zonalf ∃ L1(S
2), the hemispherical transformF f was inverted explicitly by P. Funk (1916); we reproduce his argument in higher dimensions.
