-extensions of the spectrum of an orbifold

From MaRDI portal
Publication:5420141




Abstract: We introduce the Gamma-extension of the spectrum of the Laplacian of a Riemannian orbifold, where Gamma is a finitely generated discrete group. This extension, called the Gamma-spectrum, is the union of the Laplace spectra of the Gamma-sectors of the orbifold, and hence constitutes a Riemannian invariant that is directly related to the singular set of the orbifold. We compare the Gamma-spectra of known examples of isospectral pairs and families of orbifolds and demonstrate that it many cases, isospectral orbifolds need not be Gamma-isospectral. We additionally prove a version of Sunada's theorem that allows us to construct pairs of orbifolds that are Gamma-isospectral for any choice of Gamma.
