Isospectrality for infinite-type hyperbolic surfaces with discrete length spectrum

Geometric Topology 2026-02-24 v1 Differential Geometry

Abstract

We prove that every family of isospectral surfaces with discrete length spectrum arising from Sunada's method is finite. Furthermore, by introducing the topological notion of surfaces with self-duplicating ends, we show that every finite group can be realized as the full isometry group of a hyperbolic structure with discrete spectrum on such a surface, if the genus is infinite. Under the same topological assumptions, we also demonstrate that the above-mentioned isospectral families can have unbounded cardinality within a fixed moduli space.
