Geometry and Topology Seminar: Joey Zou, Northwestern, Microlocal Methods for The Elastic Travel Time Tomography Problem for Transversely Isotropic Media
I will discuss the travel time tomography problem for elastic media in the transversely isotropic setting. The mathematical study of this problem relates to X-ray tomography and boundary rigidity problems studied by de Hoop, Stefanov, Uhlmann, Vasy, et al., which reduce the inverse problems to the microlocal analysis of certain operators obtained from a pseudolinearization…
