Towers of isospectral manifolds

Towers of isospectral manifolds

Given two isospectral not isometric manifolds, we construct a new couple of such manifolds as the total spaces of two Riemannian submersions with totally geodesic fibers isometric to the given ones and of basis any other given manifold. By iteration, we obtain families of isospectral not isometric manifolds.

Isospectral towers of Riemannian manifolds

In this paper we construct, for n ≥ 2, arbitrarily large families of infinite towers of compact, orientable Riemannian n-manifolds which are isospectral but not isometric at each stage. In dimensions two and three, the towers produced consist of hyperbolic 2-manifolds and hyperbolic 3-manifolds, and in these cases we show that the isospectral towers do not arise from Sunada’s method.

Isospectral locally symmetric manifolds

In this article we construct closed, isospectral, non-isometric locally symmetric manifolds. We have three main results. First, we construct arbitrarily large sets of closed, isospectral, non-isometric manifolds. Second, we show the growth of size these sets of isospectral manifolds as a function of volume is super-polynomial. Finally, we construct pairs of infinite towers of finite covers of a...

Torsion Homology and Regulators of Isospectral Manifolds

Given a finite group G, a G-covering of closed Riemannian manifolds, and a so-called G-relation, a construction of Sunada produces a pair of manifolds M1 and M2 that are strongly isospectral. Such manifolds have the same dimension and the same volume, and their rational homology groups are isomorphic. Here, we investigate the relationship between their integral homology.
