Abstract: We study the spectral properties of a large class of compact flat Riemannian manifolds of dimension 4, namely, those whose corresponding Bieberbach groups have the canonical lattice as translation lattice. By using the explicit expression of the heat trace of the Laplacian acting on $p$-forms, we determine all $p$-isospectral and $L$-isospectral pairs and we show that in this class of manifolds, isospectrality on functions and isospectrality on $p$-forms for all values of $p$ are equivalent to each other. The list shows for any $p$, $1leple3$, many $p$-isospectral pairs that are not isospectral on functions and have different lengths of closed geodesics. We also determine all length isospectral pairs (i.e. with the same length multiplicities), showing that there are two weak length isospectral pairs that are not length isospectral, and many pairs, $p$-isospectral for all $p$ and not length isospectral.

Review text

Let \(M\) be a compact \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold. Let Spec\(_p(M)\) be the spectrum of the \(p\)-form valued Laplacian where each eigenvalue is counted with multiplicity. The authors study the \(p\)-spectrum of a certain class of \(4\)-dimensional flat manifolds -- those whose corresponding Bieberbach groups have the canonical lattice as translation lattice. An explicit computation of the multiplicities is made for two flat manifolds with holonomy group \(D_4\); they are \(p\)-isospectral if and only if \(p=1\) or \(p=3\) and they do not have the same lengths of closed geodesics. \(p\) isospectral pairs that are not isospectral on functions and which have different lengths of closed geodesics are exhibited and a number of other useful results are obtained.
