The spectral geometry of Einstein manifolds with boundary

JeongHyeong Park

Honam University

Abstract

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact $m$ dimensional Einstein manifold with smooth boundary. Let $\Delta_{p,\mathcal B}$ be the realization of the $p$ form valued Laplacian with a suitable boundary condition $\mathcal B$. Let ${\rm Spec}(\Delta_{p,\mathcal B})$ be the spectrum where each eigenvalue is repeated according to multiplicity. We show that certain geometric properties of the boundary may be spectrally characterized in terms of this data where we fix the Einstein constant.

Keywords: totally umbillic boundary, totally geodesic boundary, minimal boundary, absolute boundary conditions, relative boundary conditions, Dirichlet Laplacian, Neumann Laplacian
