Why is there no symplectic version of spectral geometry?
First, recall that on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ the Laplace-Beltrami operator $\Delta_g:C^\infty(M)\to C^\infty(M)$ is defined as
$$
\Delta_g=\mathrm{div}_g\circ\mathrm{grad}_g,
$$
where the ...

Eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannnian manifold
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, and let $\Delta_g$ be its Laplace-Beltrami operator. A "well-known fact" is that the eigenvalues of $\Delta_g$ have finite multiplicity and tend to ...

Estimates of eigenvalues of elliptic operators on compact manifolds
The classical Weyl law says that if $\Delta$ is the Laplace operator on functions on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$, $n>2$, then its $k$th eigenvalue satisfies the asymptotic formula
$$\...
