Abstract:
We study the Laplace operator with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on polygons in the Euclidean plane. We prove that almost every simply connected polygon with at least four vertices has a simple spectrum. We also address the more general case of geodesic polygons in a constant curvature space form.
