Abstract. To every n-dimensional lens space L, we associate a congruence lattice L in Z m , with n = 2m−1 and we prove a formula relating the multiplicities of Hodge-Laplace eigenvalues on L with the number of lattice elements of a given · 1 -length in L. As a consequence, we show that two lens spaces are isospectral on functions (resp. isospectral on p-forms for every p) if and only if the associated congruence lattices are · 1 -isospectral (resp. · 1 -isospectral plus a geometric condition). Using this fact, we give, for every dimension n ≥ 5, infinitely many examples of Riemannian manifolds that are isospectral on every level p and are not strongly isospectral.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
