Abstract

Let Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2 be Bieberbach groups contained in the full isometry group GG of Rn\mathbb{R}^n. We prove that if the compact flat manifolds Γ1\Rn\Gamma_1\backslash\mathbb{R}^n and Γ2\Rn\Gamma_2\backslash\mathbb{R}^n are strongly isospectral then the Bieberbach groups Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2 are representation equivalent, that is, the right regular representations L2(Γ1\G)L^2(\Gamma_1\backslash G) and L2(Γ2\G)L^2(\Gamma_2\backslash G) are unitarily equivalent.
