Spectral geometry for the Jacobi operator of the identity map


Abstract


Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold. We denote by JM the Jacobi operator of the identity map which is a second order elliptic differential operator. In this paper we study the following problem: which geometric properties are determined by the spectrum Spec{JM}?
