{title2=$E_\lambda=\ker(\Delta-\lambda I)$}

The <vector space> of functions satisfying $\Delta f=\lambda f$ for a specified <Laplace-Beltrami operator>. On a <closed manifold> its dimension is finite and is the spectral multiplicity of $\lambda$. A finite isometric <group action> preserves this space; invariant elements are the <Laplacian eigenfunctions> on the corresponding smooth quotient.
