This research demonstrates the finiteness of isospectral surfaces with discrete spectra, revealing implications for infinite-genus structures.
We prove that every family of isospectral surfaces with discrete length spectrum arising from Sunada's method is finite. Furthermore, by introducing the topological notion of surfaces with self-duplicating ends, we show that every finite group can be realized as the full isometry group of a hyperbolic structure with discrete spectrum on such a surface, if the genus is infinite. Under the same topological assumptions, we also demonstrate that the above-mentioned isospectral families can have unbounded cardinality within a fixed moduli space.
