Agranovsky–Quinto conjecture on higher-dimensional non-injectivity sets

Let SRnS\subset\mathbb{R}^n and let Cc(Rn)C_c(\mathbb{R}^n) denote the compactly supported continuous functions on Rn\mathbb{R}^n. A rigid motion of Rn\mathbb{R}^n is denoted by ω\omega, let Σ\Sigma be the zero set of a homogeneous harmonic polynomial, and let FRnF\subset\mathbb{R}^n be an algebraic subset of co-dimension at least 22. Agranovsky–Quinto conjecture. The following condition is necessary and sufficient for SS to be a set of injectivity for the circular Radon transform on Cc(Rn)C_c(\mathbb{R}^n): SS is not contained in any set of the form

ω(Σ)F.\omega(\Sigma)\bigcup F.

This conjecture extends the known two-dimensional characterization of injectivity sets, where the exceptional sets are rigid motions of Coxeter systems together with finite sets. It describes the expected non-injectivity sets in higher dimensions; the supplied source does not state a resolution.
