Sunada's method and the covering spectrum (Q542361)

Every Riemannian manifold has a covering spectrum, defined by Sormani and Wei, related to the length spectrum. This paper gives examples of isospectral compact Riemannian manifolds with distinct covering spectra: the covering spectrum is not a spectral invariant. As indicated in the title, the construction makes use of a well known method of Sunada relating spectra of quotients of compact Riemannian manifolds by finite groups.
