Spectral isolation of bi-invariant metrics on compact Lie groups

Carolyn S. Gordon, Dorothee Schueth, Craig 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....

Spectrum generating on twistor bundle

Thomas Branson, Doojin Hong (2006)

Archivum Mathematicum

Spectrum generating technique introduced by Ólafsson, Ørsted, and one of the authors in the paper (Branson, T., Ólafsson, G. and Ørsted, B., Spectrum generating operators, and intertwining operators for representations induced from a maximal parabolic subgroups, J. Funct. Anal. 135 (1996), 163–205.) provides an efficient way to construct certain intertwinors when K -types are of multiplicity at most one. Intertwinors on the twistor bundle over S 1 × S n - 1 have some K -types of multiplicity 2. With some additional...

Spectrum of the Laplace operator and periodic geodesics: thirty years after

Yves Colin de Verdière (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

What is called the “Semi-classical trace formula” is a formula expressing the smoothed density of states of the Laplace operator on a compact Riemannian manifold in terms of the periodic geodesics. Mathematical derivation of such formulas were provided in the seventies by several authors. The main goal of this paper is to state the formula and to give a self-contained proof independent of the difficult use of the global calculus of Fourier Integral Operators. This proof is close in the spirit of...
