Jun 4, 2017 at 10:45 comment added Bernd Ammann For the Laplace-Beltrami operator the answer is given in Theorem 5.6 in link. There are manifolds isospectral for the Laplace-Beltrami, but not for the Dirac operator. One can also construct manifolds which are isospectral for the Hodge-Laplacian, but not for the Dirac operator by changing the spin structure, this works even on tori. I expect that examples isospectral for the Hodge-Laplacian, but non-Dirac-isospectral for any choice of spin structure should exist, but I do not think that anyone has constructed such pairs so far.
Jun 2, 2017 at 9:40 comment added Z. Ye Nice answer! I still want to know if Dirac operator gives a bit more information. From your answer it's pretty clear that the Dirac operator can distinguish different spin structures. But for a trivial spin structure, it seems that the spectrum of Dirac operator will not give more information than Laplaician? Thank you very much.
