    Can a 9‑dimensional product of spheres be uniquely determined by its first three...

    We know that spectral rigidity fails in general (Gordon–Webb–Wolpert, 1992). However, consider the following highly symmetric family of 9‑dimensional closed manifolds:
    $$M(a)=\mathbb{S}^3(a)\times\mathbb{S}^3\!\left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{150}}\right)\times\mathbb{S}^3\!\left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{150k_0}}\right),\qquad a>0,\;k_0>1\text{ fixed}.$$...
