We study the L-spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on certain complete locally symmetric spaces M = Γ\X with finite volume and arithmetic fundamental group Γ whose universal covering X is a symmetric space of non-compact type. We also show, how the obtained results for locally symmetric spaces can be generalized to manifolds with cusps of rank one.

In this work we consider a partial integro-differential equation. We reformulate it a functional integro-differential equation in a suitable Hilbert space. We apply the method of lines to establish the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution.
