The classification conjecture for five-dimensional 2-isospectral lens orbifolds

A 55-dimensional lens orbifold is a lens orbifold of dimension 55, and two such orbifolds are {2}\{2\}-isospectral when their spectra on 22-forms agree. They are non-isometric if no isometry relates them.

The five-dimensional {2}\{2\}-isospectrality conjecture. The families of non-isometric {2}\{2\}-isospectral 55-dimensional lens orbifolds are precisely given by pairs

{L(8t;4,t,3t)L(8t;8,t,3t)\begin{cases} L(8t;4,t,3t)\\ L(8t;8,t,3t) \end{cases}

for t1t\geq1 odd.

The claim is supported by computational data. The paper sketches how the displayed families can be checked for 22-isospectrality and notes that proving they exhaust all such examples is more difficult; it also observes that they are not 00- or 11-isospectral.
