DESCRIPTION:Imagine a thick triangular sheet of metal vibrating so much that it produces\na resonant tone.  Are there are two qualitatively different types of vibrational\nbehavior that lead to the same tone?  The answer is yes for both the equilateral\ntriangle and the right isoceles triangle. In joint work with Luc Hillairet (Nantes),\nwe show that the answer is `no' for the generic triangle without explicitly\nidentifying a single triangle for which the answer is no. In this talk, I will describe\nthe underlying mathematics and the new method---asymptotic separation of variables---\nwhich solves this and similar problems.
