Let $D\subset \mathbb R^2$ be a region and let $\Lambda=\{\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\dots\}$ be the set of eigenvalues of the Laplacian $-\Delta$ (with boundary condition $\psi=0$ on $\partial D$). Mark Kac,...

I would like to reproduce the results of Manas - The music of gold: Can gold counterfeited coins be detected by ear?, but it skips a lot of steps, and the mathematics behind it is a bit advanced for ...

I find the problem of hearing the shape of a drum fascinating. Specifically, given two connected subsets of $\mathbb R^2$ with piecewise-smooth boundaries (or a suitable generalization to a riemannian ...

Has there been any progress on the smooth isospectral plane domains for Laplacian problem with Dirichlet data? In particular, are there known examples of domains which are isospectral to the unit ...
