Spectral theory of the Laplace operator on manifolds with generalized cusps

In this thesis we study the Laplace operator Δ acting on p-forms, defined on an n dimensional manifold with generalized cusps. Such a manifold consists of a compact piece and a noncompact one. The noncompact piece is isometric to the generalized cusp. A generalized cusp [1,∞) x N is an n dimensional...
