Abs tract: We show the use of symmetry tricks in solving two problems of spect ral geometry: a partial case $g=2$ of the question 'How large can the fir st eigenvalue be on a surface of genus $g$?' and a modification of Mark Ka c's question\, 'Can one hear the shape of a drum?' The questions (or\, rat her\, our answers) are surprisingly related.\n DTSTART:20060310T190000Z DTEND:20060310T190000Z LOCATION:Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Symmetry tricks in spectral geometry URL:/channels/event/symmetry-tricks-spectral-geometry- 18776 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
