In this article, we characterize the image of the Brylinski-Radon transform in characteristic $p>0$ via Beilinson's theory of singular supports. We also provide an alternate proof of Brylinski's results over $\mathbb{C}$, which also works for sheaves with finite coefficients. Along the way, we also obtain a microlocal criterion for the descent of perverse sheaves which could be of independent interest.PDF: Brylinski-Radon transformation in characteristic $p>0$.pdf
