Spectrum of a flat torus
ID: spectrum-of-a-flat-torus
With the nonnegative Laplace-Beltrami operator, a frequency in the dual lattice gives the eigenfunction and eigenvalue . Its multiplicity is the number of dual vectors with that norm. Fourier series prove completeness. In dimension two the shortest vector, shortest independent vector and covolume determine a reduced Gram matrix, proving spectral rigidity.
