Strongly isotropy irreducible spaces whose Laplacians have all their eigenspaces irreducible
Abstract
Let H be a closed subgroup of a compact connected Lie group G such that G/H is simply connected, the action of G on G/H is almost effective, and G/H is a strongly isotropy irreducible space. The smallest positive eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator Δ associated to the standard metric on G/H was recently computed. In this article we obtain a second non-zero eigenvalue of Δ. As a consequence, we prove that all eigenspaces of the Laplacian are irreducible as G-modules if and only if (G,H) is a compact symmetric pair of real rank one, or (G,H) is equal to (G2,SU(3)) or (Spin(7),G2).
