Abstract

This paper means to correct an error by the authors for the composite qq case in the paper "Lens Spaces, Isospectral on Forms but not on Functions", published in LMS J. Comput. Math.} 9 (2006), 270-286. All calculations and examples presented in \cite{GM} for prime qq remain valid, and we include detailed calculations below justifying this. Our original mistake was to conclude that Formula (3.11) \cite[p. 399]{Ikeda} remained true for all qq when in fact it is only valid if qq is prime. This means formulas (3) and (4) in \cite{GM} must be reworked to account for complications when qq is composite.
