Quantum Equivalent Magnetic Fields that Are Not Classically Equivalent

Carolyn GordonWilliam KirwinDorothee SchuethDavid Webb — 2010

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We construct pairs of compact Kähler-Einstein manifolds ( M i , g i , ω i ) ( i = 1 , 2 ) of complex dimension n with the following properties: The canonical line bundle L i = n T * M i has Chern class [ ω i / 2 π ] , and for each positive integer k the tensor powers L 1 k and L 2 k are isospectral for the bundle Laplacian associated with the canonical connection, while M 1 and M 2 – and hence T * M 1 and T * M 2 – are not homeomorphic. In the context of geometric quantization, we interpret these examples as magnetic fields which are quantum equivalent but not classically equivalent....

Spectral isolation of bi-invariant metrics on compact Lie groups

Carolyn S. GordonDorothee SchuethCraig J. Sutton — 2010

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that a bi-invariant metric on a compact connected Lie group G is spectrally isolated within the class of left-invariant metrics. In fact, we prove that given a bi-invariant metric g 0 on G there is a positive integer N such that, within a neighborhood of g 0 in the class of left-invariant metrics of at most the same volume, g 0 is uniquely determined by the first N distinct non-zero eigenvalues of its Laplacian (ignoring multiplicities). In the case where G is simple, N can be chosen to be two....

Isospectral deformations of closed riemannian manifolds with different scalar curvature

Carolyn S. GordonRuth GornetDorothee SchuethDavid L. WebbEdward N. Wilson — 1998

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We construct the first examples of continuous families of isospectral Riemannian metrics that are not locally isometric on closed manifolds , more precisely, on S n × T m , where T m is a torus of dimension m 2 and S n is a sphere of dimension n 4 . These metrics are not locally homogeneous; in particular, the scalar curvature of each metric is nonconstant. For some of the deformations, the maximum scalar curvature changes during the deformation.
