The manifold inheritance conjecture for isospectral lens orbifolds
The manifold inheritance conjecture for isospectral lens orbifolds
Let and be -dimensional lens orbifolds. A lens orbifold has a manifold structure when its defining parameters are coprime to its group order; in that case it is a lens space. For , say that and are -isospectral when their spectra on -forms agree.
The manifold inheritance conjecture. If and are -isospectral for some and is a lens space, then is also a lens space.
The corresponding statement for is given as a theorem in the paper, while the general orbifold setting admits counterexamples for positive degrees. Computational evidence suggests that this stronger inheritance property holds for lens orbifolds.
