We consider a magnetic Laplacian on a compact manifold, with a constant non-degenerate magnetic field. In the large field limit, it is known that the eigenvalues are grouped in clusters, the corresponding sums of eigenspaces being called…

We study eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the surfaces of four of the regular polyhedrons: tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron and cube. We show two types of eigenfunctions: nonsingular ones that are smooth at vertices,…
