Title: Bass-note spectra for Euclidean geometries


Abstract:

We review recent developments on the bass-note spectra of laplacians on functions and forms on hyperbolic surfaces and three manifolds. Specifically methods from conformal field theory (the bootstrap crossing equations) and of structured and random covers (strong convergence).
