    Abstract

    Let G(p, n) and G(q, n) be the affine Grassmann manifolds of p- and q-planes in ℝn, respectively, and let ℛ(p,q) 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 dim G(p, n) = dim G(p, n), we present a range characterization theorem for ℛ(p,q) via moment conditions. We then use this range result to prove a support theorem for ℛ(p,q). This complements a previous range characterization theorem for ℛ(p,q) via differential equations when dim G(p, n) < dim G(p, n). We also present a support theorem in this latter case.
