Abstract

In this article Ehrhart quasi-polynomials of simplices are employed to determine isospectral lens spaces in terms of a finite set of numbers. Using the natural lattice associated with a lens space the associated toric variety of a lens space is introduced. It is proved that if two lens spaces are isospectral then the dimension of global sections of powers of a natural line bundle on these two toric varieties are equal and they have the same general intersection number. Also, harmonic polynomial representation of the group SO(n) is used to provide a direct proof for a theorem of Lauret, Miatello and Rossetti on isospectrality of lens spaces.
