We make a computational study to know what kind of isospectralities among lens spaces and lens orbifolds exist considering the Hodge--Laplace operators acting on smooth $p$-forms. Several evidenced facts are proved and some others are…

We construct pairs of compact Riemannian orbifolds which are isospectral for the Laplace operator on functions such that the maximal isotropy order of singular points in one of the orbifolds is higher than in the other. In one type of…

We answer Mark Kacs famous question - can one hear the shape of a drum - in the negative for orbifolds that are spherical space forms. This is done by extending the techniques developed by A. Ikeda on Lens Spaces to the orbifold setting.…

We show that certain families of iso-length spectral hyperbolic surfaces obtained via the Sunada construction are not generally simple iso-length spectral.

Two negatively curved metric spaces are iso-length-spectral if they have the same multisets of lengths of closed geodesics. A well-known paper by Sunada provides a systematic way of constructing iso-length-spectral surfaces that are not…

In this paper we report on recent results by several authors, on the spectral theory of lens spaces and orbifolds and similar locally symmetric spaces of rank one. Most of these results are related to those obtained by the authors in [IMRN…

In a recent paper Garoufalidis and Reid constructed pairs of 1-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds which are isospectral but not isometric. In this paper we extend this work to the multi-cusped setting by constructing isospectral but not…

We construct pairs and continuous families of isospectral yet locally non-isometric orbifolds via an equivariant version of Sunada's method. We also observe that if a good orbifold $\mathcal{O}$ and a smooth manifold $M$ are isospectral,…

We present a new construction for obtaining pairs of higher-step isospectral Riemannian nilmanifolds and compare several resulting new examples. In particular, we present new examples of manifolds that are isospectral on functions, but not…

To every $n$-dimensional lens space $L$, we associate a congruence lattice $\mathcal L$ in $\mathbb Z^m$, with $n=2m-1$ and we prove a formula relating the multiplicities of Hodge-Laplace eigenvalues on $L$ with the number of lattice…

In this paper we construct, for n >= 2, arbitrarily large families of infinite towers of compact, orientable Riemannian n-manifolds which are isospectral but not isometric at each stage. In dimensions two and three, the towers produced…

For any $n\geq 7$, $k\geq 3$, we give pairs of compact flat $n$-manifolds $M, M'$ with holonomy groups $\mathbb Z_2^k$, that are strongly isospectral, hence isospectral on $p$-forms for all values of $p$, having nonisomorphic cohomology…

We present a method for constructing families of isospectral systems, using linear representations of finite groups. We focus on quantum graphs, for which we give a complete treatment. However, the method presented can be applied to other…

We construct the first non-trivial examples of compact non-isometric Alexandrov spaces which are isospectral with respect to the Laplacian and not isometric to Riemannian orbifolds. This construction generalizes independent earlier results…

Cosmologists are taking a renewed interest in multiconnected spherical 3-manifolds (spherical spaceforms) as possible models for the physical universe. To understand the formation of large scale structures in such a universe, cosmologists…

In this article we construct closed, isospectral, non-isometric locally symmetric manifolds. We have three main results. First, we construct arbitrarily large sets of closed, isospectral, non-isometric manifolds. Second, we show the growth…

We revisit the problem of isospectral spherical space forms with non-cyclic fundamental groups after the works by Ikeda, Gilkey and Wolf. We find the first pair of spherical space forms with non-isomorphic fundamental groups and the same…

We construct infinitely many examples of pairs of isospectral but non-isometric $1$-cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifolds. These examples have infinite discrete spectrum and the same Eisenstein series. Our constructions are based on an…

Lens models appropriate for representing cusped galaxies and clusters are developed. The analogue of the odd number theorem for cusped density distributions is given. Density cusps are classified into strong, isothermal or weak, according…

Basic considerations of lens detection and identification indicate that a wide field survey of the types planned for weak lensing and Type Ia SNe with SNAP are close to optimal for the optical detection of strong lenses. Such a…
