Eigenvalues of Laplacian and eigenvalues of curvature operator
Let $(M^n,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold (without boundary). The symmetries of the curvature $R$ of (the Levi-Civita connection associated to) $g$ allow one to realise $R$ as a self-adjoint (...

Spectrum of Laplace-Beltrami with piecewise constant coefficients
By the Laplace-Beltrami with piecewise constant coefficients I means the operator $-div (f\, \nabla .)$ in the 2-sphere. Where $f$ is a piecewise constant function that takes two values $1$ and $a>...

Tight bound on spectral gap of compact homogeneous manifold?
This paper by Peter Li proves a bound on the spectral gap of the Laplacian on a compact homogeneous manifold of diameter $d$:
$$ \lambda_1 \ge c/d^2, $$
where $c=\pi^2/4$. Can this bound be ...

Spectral theory of differential forms over a circle bundle
Here is the set up : I consider the unitary tangent bundle of a surface $(S,g)$ endowed with the Sasakian metric ; $(T^1S, g_s)$, in fact we have the following fibration :

introduction textbook to the Laplacian on a circle bundle
I am looking for an introduction to spectral theory of $\Delta$ on a circle bundle over a compact M. Is there an analog of Selberg trace formula?
