Order-sixteen Gassmann pair

ID: order-sixteen-gassmann-pair

Embed and in by their regular representations. Both have one element of order one, three of order two, and twelve of order four. An order- element in a regular action has cycle type . Their intersections with every conjugacy class of consequently have the same size, so they are Gassmann equivalent. The first group is abelian and the second is not, so their underlying groups are not isomorphic. Finite-cover constructions from the Sunada theorem therefore give isospectral manifolds with different fundamental groups.
