Spectral Theory and Geometry

London Mathematical Society Lecture Note #273

by E. Brian Davies (Editor), Yuri Safarov (Editor)

This volume brings together lectures from a conference on spectral theory and geometry held under the auspices of the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Edinburgh. The contributions by world experts include expanded versions of many of the original lectures. Together, they survey the core material and go beyond to reach deeper results. For graduate students and experts alike, this book will be a highly useful resource.
