The planar Pompeiu property question

Statement

Every bounded simply connected planar non-disk Ω with smooth boundary has the Pompeiu property: if a continuous real f has integral zero over every rigid-motion image of Ω, then f is identically zero.

Assumptions

  • Rigid motions include translations and orthogonal transformations.
  • Integration is with respect to planar Lebesgue measure.

Scope

A related rigidity formulation through domain integrals. Its counterexample evidence is linked to the specific constructions.
