Moment conditions and support theorems for Radon transforms on affine Grassmann manifolds

Let G(p,n) and G(q,n) be the affine Grassmann manifolds of p- and q-planes in Rⁿ, respectively, and let be the Radon transform from smooth functions on G(p,n) to smooth functions on G(q,n) arising from the inclusion incidence relation. When p<q and dimG(p,n)=dimG(p,n), we present a range characterization theorem for via moment conditions. We then use this range result to prove a support theorem for . This complements a previous range characterization theorem for via differential equations when dimG(p,n)<dimG(p,n). We also present a support theorem in this latter case.
