Non-existence of non-isometric Dirac-isospectral spin lens spaces in dimensions congruent to 1 modulo 4
Non-existence of non-isometric Dirac-isospectral spin lens spaces in dimensions congruent to 1 modulo 4
A spin lens space is a lens space equipped with a spin structure, and two such spaces are Dirac isospectral when their Dirac operators have the same spectrum, counted with multiplicities. Let denote their dimension.
Non-existence conjecture. Two Dirac isospectral spin lens spaces of dimension are necessarily isometric.
The conjecture is motivated by the absence of examples found in the stated dimensions and the reported computational checks for bounded fundamental-group orders. It asserts that Dirac-isospectral spin lens spaces in these dimensions cannot be non-isometric.
