The vector space $V^k$ of the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the three sphere $S^3$, corresponding to the same eigenvalue $lambda_k = -k (k +2)$, has dimension $(k + 1)^2$. After recalling the standard bases for $V^k$, we introduce a…
Observational data hints at a finite universe, with spherical manifolds such as the Poincare dodecahedral space tentatively providing the best fit. Simulating the physics of a model universe requires knowing the eigenmodes of the Laplace…
Scalar, vector and tensor harmonics on the three-sphere were introduced originally to facilitate the study of various problems in gravitational physics. These harmonics are defined as eigenfunctions of the covariant Laplace operator which…
From the homotopy groups of three distinct octahedral spherical 3-manifolds we construct the isomorphic groups H of deck transformations acting on the 3-sphere. The H-invariant polynomials on the 3-sphere constructed by representation…
Laplacian eigenmodes on homogeneous Clifford--Klein factors of the three--sphere are obtained as pullbacks of harmonics on the orbifolded two--sphere using the Hopf map. A method of obtaining these polyhedral, or crystal, harmonics using…
We extend and generalize the construction of Sturm-Liouville problems for a family of Hamiltonians constrained to fulfill a third-order shape-invariance condition and focusing on the "$-2x/3$" hierarchy of solutions to the fourth Painlev\'e…
The possibility that our space is multi - rather than singly - connected has gained a renewed interest after the discovery of the low power for the first multipoles of the CMB by WMAP. To test the possibility that our space is a…
We define two transforms between non-conformal harmonic maps from a surface into the 3-sphere. With these transforms one can construct, from one such harmonic map, a sequence of harmonic maps. We show that there is a correspondence between…
We consider the rational vector space generated by all rational homology spheres up to orientation-preserving homeomorphism, and the filtration defined on this space by Lagrangian-preserving rational homology handlebody replacements. We…
We study the spectrum of the Hodge-Laplacian on $1$-forms for left-invariant metrics on the Lie group $\operatorname{SU}(2) \cong S^3$ and its quotient $\operatorname{SO}(3)\cong P^3(\mathbb{R})$. To the best of our knowledge, we provide…
The usual spherical harmonics $Y_{\ell m}$ form a basis of the vector space ${\cal V} ^{\ell}$ (of dimension $2\ell+1$) of the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the sphere, with eigenvalue $\lambda_{\ell} = -\ell ~(\ell +1)$. Here we show…
In this paper, we present the implicit equations for one special class of real-valued spherical harmonics with octahedral symmetry. Based on this representation, we construct the rotationally invariant measure of deviation from the…
We compute an explicit constant for an injectivity estimate on the 3-Torus involving the Laplace Operator. First, we provide motivation for such explicit estimates. We perform the computation for the 3-Torus endowed with the flat metric…
n this paper, we consider a method of constructing flat surfaces based on Ribaucour transformations in the sphere 3-space. By applying the theory to the flat torus, we obtain a families of complete flat surfaces in $S^3$ which are…
We describe both the Hodge - de Rham and the spin manifold Dirac operator on the spheres ${\rm S}^3$ and ${\rm S}^2$, following the formalism introduced by K\"ahler, and exhibit a complete spectral resolution for them in terms of suitably…
We present a comprehensive construction of scalar, vector and tensor harmonics on maximally symmetric three-dimensional spaces. Our formalism relies on the introduction of spin-weighted spherical harmonics and a generalized helicity basis…

Any homogeneous polynomial $P(x, y, z)$ of degree $d$, being restricted to a unit sphere $S^2$, admits essentially a unique representation of the form $\lambda_0 + \sum_{k = 1}^d \lambda_k [\prod_{j = 1}^k L_{kj}]$, where $L_{kj}$'s are…

The eigenfamilies of Gudmundsson and Sakovich can be used to generate harmonic morphisms, proper $r$-harmonic maps, and minimal co-dimension $2$ submanifolds. This article begins by characterising the globally defined eigenfamilies of the…
