--- OA_place: repository OA_type: green _id: '22340' abstract: - lang: eng text: We show that Laplace isospectral deformations within a conformal class of generic Liouville metrics on the two-dimensional torus that are linear in the deformation parameter are necessarily trivial. Two of the main ingredients in our proof are a noncancellation result for the wave trace and an analysis of the second order variational formula for the energy functional associated to closed geodesics. Noncancellation allows us to detect parts of the length spectrum from the Laplace spectrum and conclude rational integrability for the deformed geodesic flow (Liouville metrics are folklorically conjectured to be the only Riemannian metrics with integrable geodesic flow on the torus). We then use the second variational formula to show how the preservation of a single rational torus is sufficient to conclude triviality of the deformation, assuming linearity. We also present some evidence that our hypothesis of linearity may indeed be necessary. article_processing_charge: No arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Sven Joscha full_name: Henheik, Sven Joscha id: 31d731d7-d235-11ea-ad11-b50331c8d7fb last_name: Henheik orcid: 0000-0003-1106-327X - first_name: Vadim full_name: Kaloshin, Vadim id: FE553552-CDE8-11E9-B324-C0EBE5697425 last_name: Kaloshin orcid: 0000-0002-6051-2628 - first_name: Yunzhe full_name: Li, Yunzhe id: 41cb05d3-f128-11eb-9611-e4e2b3cfba31 last_name: Li - first_name: Amir full_name: Vig, Amir id: 49d58dd5-45f5-11ec-9f86-8ce1276989b9 last_name: Vig citation: ama: Henheik SJ, Kaloshin V, Li Y, Vig A.

The proof uses a resonant normal-form construction to obtain a sequence of periodic orbits accumulating on an invariant curve with a Liouville rotation number. Within these normal forms we capture the dependence of these periodic orbits on the resonant Fourier coefficients of the dynamics on the invariant curve and, using the contraction mapping principle, obtain a suitable deformation achieving the prescribed spectral data associated with this sequence of orbits. The result can be viewed as a symplectic twist-map analogue of a length spectral nonrigidity phenomenon for Riemannian manifolds and convex billiards, and it motivates the existence problem for similar 'partially length-isospectral' deformations of strictly convex billiard tables. acknowledgement: " The author would like to thank Vadim Kaloshin for initiating this project and for his guidance throughout its development.
