Abstract

We construct pairs and continuous families of isospectral yet locally non-isometric orbifolds via an equivariant version of Sunada's method. We also observe that if a good orbifold O\mathcal{O} and a smooth manifold MM are isospectral, then they cannot admit non-trivial finite Riemannian covers M1OM_1 \to \mathcal{O} and M2MM_2 \to M where M1M_1 and M2M_2 are isospectral manifolds.
