Do the Hodge spectra distinguish orbifolds from manifolds? Part 2

Katie Gittins, Carolyn Gordon, Ingrid Membrillo Solis +3

In \cite{GGKM-SSS} we examined the relationship between the singular set of a compact Riemannian orbifold and the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian on -forms by computing the heat…
