Abstract:
We study the Laplace spectra of the intrinsic instantaneous metrics on the event and cosmological horizons of a Kerr-Newman-de Sitter space-time and prove that the spectral data from these horizons uniquely determine the metric among all such space-times. This is accomplished by exhibiting formulae relating the parameters of the space-time metric to the traces of invariant and equivariant Green’s operators associated with these Laplacians. In particular, an interesting explicit formula for the cosmological constant is found.References
