Abstract

A classical question in spectral geometry is, for each pair of nonnegative integers (p,n)(p,n) such that p2np\leq 2n, if the eigenvalues of Laplacian on pp-forms of a compact K\"{a}hler manifold are the same as those of CPn\mathbb{C}P^n equipped with the Fubini-Study metric, then whether or not this K\"{a}hler manifold is holomorphically isometric to CPn\mathbb{C}P^n. For every positive even number pp, we affirmatively solve this problem in all dimensions nn with at most two possible exceptions. We also clarify in this paper some gaps in previous literature concerned with this question, among which one is related to the volume estimate of Fano K\"{a}hler-Einstein manifolds.
