Let $\pi : Z \rightarrow Y$ be a Riemannian [[Submersion|submersion]]. Let $D _ { Y }$ and $D _ { Z }$ be operators of Laplace type (cf. also [[Laplace operator|Laplace operator]]) on $Y$ and $Z$ on bundles $V _ { Y }$ and $V _ { Z }$. Let $E ( \lambda , D _ { Y } )$ and $E ( \lambda , D _ { \operatorname {Z} } )$ be the corresponding eigenspaces. Assume given a pull-back <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/s/s120/s120210/s12021010.png"/> from $V _ { Y }$ to $V _ { Z }$. One wants to have examples where there exists

\begin{equation} \tag{a1} 0 \neq \phi \in E ( \lambda , D _ { Y } ) \text { with } \pi ^ { * } \phi \in E ( \mu , D _ { Z } ). \end{equation}

One also wants to know when

\begin{equation} \tag{a2} \pi ^ { * } E ( \lambda , D _ { Y } ) \subset E ( \mu ( \lambda ) , D _ { Z } ). \end{equation}

Let $\pi : S ^ { 3 } \rightarrow S ^ { 2 }$ and let $\nu_2$ be the volume element on $S ^ { 2 }$. Let $\Delta ^ { p }$ be the Laplace–Beltrami operator (cf. also [[Laplace–Beltrami equation|Laplace–Beltrami equation]]). Y. Muto [[#References|[a8]]], [[#References|[a7]]] observed that

\begin{equation*} 0 \neq \nu _ { 2 } \in E ( 0 , \Delta _ { S^2 } ^ { 2 } ) \end{equation*}

\begin{equation*} \pi ^ { * } \nu _ { 2 } \in E ( \mu , \Delta _ { S^3 } ^ { 2 } ) \end{equation*}

for $\mu \neq 0$; he also gave other examples involving principal fibre bundles.

S.I. Goldberg and T. Ishihara [[#References|[a2]]] and B. Watson [[#References|[a9]]] studied this question and determined some conditions to ensure that (a2) holds with $\mu ( \lambda ) = \lambda$ for all $\lambda$; this work was later extended in [[#References|[a5]]] for the real Laplacian and in [[#References|[a3]]] for the complex Laplacian. If (a1) holds for a single eigenvalue, then $\lambda \leq \mu$ (eigenvalues cannot decrease). See also [[#References|[a1]]] for a discussion of the case in which the fibres are totally geodesic. See [[#References|[a6]]] for related results in the spin setting. For a survey of the field, see [[#References|[a4]]].
