It is well known that certain pairs of planar domains have the same spectra of the Laplacian operator. We prove that these domains are still isospectral for a wider class of physical problems, including the cases of heterogeneous drums and…

We prove that the presence or absence of corners is spectrally determined in the following sense: any simply connected domain with piecewise smooth Lipschitz boundary cannot be isospectral to any connected domain, of any genus, which has…

Which properties of an orbifold can we ``hear,'' i.e., which topological and geometric properties of an orbifold are determined by its Laplace spectrum? We consider this question for a class of four-dimensional K\"{a}hler orbifolds:…

The problem of recovering geometric properties of a domain from the trace of the heat kernel for an initial-boundary value problem arises in NMR microscopy and other applications. It is similar to the problem of ``hearing the shape of a…

We generalize Weyl's law to inhomogeneous bodies in $d$ dimensions. Using a perturbation scheme recently obtained by us in Ref. \cite{Amore09}, we have derived an explicit formula, which describes the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues…

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…

The quantum lens spaces form a natural and well-studied class of noncommutative spaces which can be subjected to classification using algebraic invariants by drawing on the fully developed classification theory of unital graph…

In \cite{GGKM-SSS} we examined the relationship between the singular set of a compact Riemannian orbifold and the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian on $p$-forms by computing the heat invariants associated to the $p$-spectrum. We showed that…

We study isospectrality for manifolds with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions and express the well-known transplantation method in graph- and representation-theoretic terms. This leads to a characterization of transplantability in…

An old problem asks whether a Riemannian manifold can be isospectral to a Riemannian orbifold with nontrivial singular set. In this short note we show that under the assumption of Schanuel's conjecture in transcendental number theory, this…

We introduce the new concept of D-geometry (or "drum geometry"), which has been recently discovered by the author in \cite{KT-DRUMS} when constructing and classifying isospectral and length equivalent drums under certain constraints. We…

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…

There is a well-known problem about isospectrality of Riemannian manifolds: whether isospectral manifolds are isometric. In this work we give an answer to this problem for 3-dimensional compact flat manifolds.

In this thesis we deal with spectral invariants for polygons and closed orbisurfaces of constant Gaussian curvature. In each case our method is to study the heat kernel and the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace. First, we investigate…

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…

This paper shows that one cannot "hear" the rational cohomology ring of a hyperbolic 3-manifold. More precisely, while it is well-known that strongly isospectral manifolds have the same cohomology as vector spaces, we give an example of…

We show that, in odd dimensions, any real valued, bounded potential of compact support has at least one scattering resonance. For dimensions three and higher this was previously known only for sufficiently smooth potentials. The proof is…

The aim of this paper is to study orientifolds of c=1 conformal field theories. A systematic analysis of the allowed orientifold projections for c=1 orbifold conformal field theories is given. We compare the Klein bottle amplitudes obtained…

Electromagnetics and Acoustics on a bounded domain are governed by the Helmholtz's equation; when such a domain is a [pre-]fractal described by means of a `just-touching' Iterated Function System (IFS) spectral decomposition of the…

We obtain an analog of Weyl's law for the Kohn Laplacian on lens spaces. We also show that two 3-dimensional lens spaces with fundamental groups of equal prime order are isospectral with respect to the Kohn Laplacian if and only if they are…
