Abstract

This paper concerns the behavior of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the round sphere's Laplacian acting on the space of sections of a real line bundle which is defined on the complement of an even numbers of points in S2S^2. Of particular interest is how these eigenvalues and eigenvectors change when viewed as functions on the configuration spaces of points.
