Abstract: We provide explicit formulae for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact rank one symmetric space (CROSS) endowed with any homogeneous metric. As consequences, we prove that homogeneous metrics on CROSSes are isospectral if and only if they are isometric, and also discuss their stability (or lack thereof) as solutions to the Yamabe problem.

Review text

The underlying manifolds of compact symmetric spaces often admit homogeneous Riemannian metrics other than their symmetric space metric. Homogeneous metrics on compact rank-one Riemannian symmetric spaces were classified by \textit{W. Ziller} [Math. Ann. 259, 351--358 (1982; Zbl 0469.53043)]. Up to homotheties, in addition to the canonical symmetric space metrics, that is, the round metric of constant sectional curvature 1 on \(S^n\) and \(\mathbb{R}P^n\), and the Fubini-Study metrics \(g_{FS}\) on the projective spaces \(\mathbb{C}P^n\), \(\mathbb{H}P^n\), and \(\operatorname{Ca}P^2\), they are as follows: \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] A 1-parameter family \(\mathbf{g}(t)\) of \(\operatorname{SU}(n + 1)\)-invariant metrics on \(S^{2n+1}\); \item[(ii)] A 3-parameter family \(\mathbf{h}(t_1, t_2, t_3)\) of \(\operatorname{Sp}(n + 1)\)-invariant metrics on \(S^{4n+3}\); \item[(iii)] A 1-parameter family \(\mathbf{k}(t)\) of \(\operatorname{Spin}(9)\)-invariant metrics on \(S^{15}\); \item[(iv)] A 1-parameter family \(\mathbf{h}(t)\) of \(\operatorname{Sp}(n + 1)\)-invariant metrics on \(\mathbf{C}P^{2n+1}\), \end{itemize} where \(t\) and \(t_i\) denote positive real numbers. All metrics in (i), (ii), and (iii) descend to homogeneous metrics invariant under the same groups on \(\mathbb{R}P^{2n+1}\), \(\mathbb{R}P^{4n+3}\), and \(\mathbb{R}P^{15}\), respectively. In this paper, the authors compute the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian \(\lambda_1(M,g)\) for every homogeneous metric \(g\) on the underlying manifold of a compact rank-one symmetric space \(M\), completing the results previously available. For example: Theorem ~B. The first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on \((\mathbb{C}P^{2n+1},\mathbf{h}(t))\) is given by \[\lambda_1(\mathbb{C}P^{2n+1}, \mathbf{h}(t))=\min\{8n+8/t^2, 8(n+1)\}.\] As a first application, the authors prove that two compact rank-one Riemannian symmetric spaces, endowed with homogeneous metrics, are isospectral if and only if they are isometric. As a second application, they finalize the classification of homogeneous metrics on a compact rank-one Riemannian symmetric space that are stable solutions of the Yamabe problem.
