Product Laplacian eigenspace decomposition

ID: product-laplacian-eigenspace-decomposition

For closed manifolds with the product Riemannian metric, the positive Laplace-Beltrami operator is the sum of the two factor operators. Products of their orthonormal eigenbases form a complete basis, and eigenvalues add. Hence the product eigenspace at is the displayed finite orthogonal sum of tensor products. The discrete assertion requires a discrete spectral setting.
