Nov 8, 2021 at 14:05 comment added emiliocba I have just added the simplest case at the end: cyclic subgroups. I hope it helps, but I don't think I will be able to do it for the rest of the subgroups of $SO(4)$ acting freely on $S^3$. Good luck!

An example added at the end.
Nov 6, 2021 at 1:05 comment added Zhiqiang Yes. A more precise description of all such $\Gamma$ would be helpful. I am particularly interested in the case of whether $\Gamma$ is conjugate in $O(4)$ to a subgroup of $U(2)$.
Nov 5, 2021 at 8:28 comment added emiliocba Oh, I see. Now everything fits! In any case, the smallest eigenvalue of $\Delta_L$ and $\Delta$ are attained at the same places, so the guide in my answer still holds.

Added a coment about the relation of the Rough Laplacian and the Lichnerowicz Laplacian

A mistake fixed in the last paragraph. A new paragraph at the end adding information.
Nov 4, 2021 at 9:57 comment added Zhiqiang You mean the first eigenvalue of the Lichnerowicz Laplacian is $12$, which is equivalent to the first eigenvalue of the rough Laplacian is $6$ since $\Delta_L h=\Delta h-6h$ in the case of $3$-dimensional spherical space forms.
Nov 4, 2021 at 8:40 comment added emiliocba Well, to be honest, I don't fully understand that paper. However, I found a precise reference for the fact that the first eigenvalue of the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on the unit 3-sphere is $12$ (Klaus Kröncke's thesis), and I added to my answer. By the way, this reference is a great source for the kind of problems that, I think, you are considering (according to your other questions about the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, it seems you are interested on some kind of stability of 3-dimensional spherical spaceforms).

A references to Klaus Kröncke's thesis was added
Nov 4, 2021 at 0:36 comment added Zhiqiang Please check out the paper "Symmetric-tensor eigenspectrum of the Laplacian on n-spheres" by Rubin and Ordonez. It contains the table of the spectra on symmetric two-forms.

Several modifications in the last three paragraphs
