Abstract

Using elementary techniques from Geometric Analysis, Partial Differential Equations, and Abelian CC^* Algebras, we uncover a novel, yet familiar, global geometric invariant -- namely the indexed set of integrals of triple products of eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, to precisely characterize which isospectral closed Riemannian manifolds are isometric.
