      [For the entire collection see Zbl 0754.00024.] The author describes the various examples of isospectral compact Riemannian manifolds which are not isometric, using primarily a representation theoretic point of view. In all these cases the isospectral manifolds are locally isometric. Thus a natural question arises -- Must every pair of isospectral manifolds be locally isometric?
