Spectral distribution and \(L^{2}\)-isoperimetric profile of Laplace operators on groups (Q453315)

The authors obtain a formula relating the \(L^2\) isoperimetric profile to the spectral distribution of a Laplace operator on a finitely generated group \(\Gamma\). The asymptotic stability of the spectral distribution under changes of measures with finite second moments is proved. Thus, the techniques from geometric group theory can be applied to estimate the spectral distribution of the Laplace operator in terms of the growth and the Folner's function of the group. This yields upper bounds on the spectral distributions of some non-solvable amenable groups and sharp estimates of the spectral distributions of some solvable groups with exponential growth.
