TITLE: Eigenforms for Laplacian on a non-flat two-torus
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: Does anyone know an explicit, exact description of the eigenforms of the Laplacian on a non-flat two-torus?

REPLY [6 votes]: This is not so much an answer as a few remarks and a caution.  If I understand your request correctly, I think that it is unlikely that you are going to find a truly explicit example.
First, let me remark that, since we are considering a compact, oriented surface $T^2$, it would be enough to know all of the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on $0$-forms, since, by the Hodge decomposition theorem, for positive eigenvalues $\lambda$, any eigenfunction of the Hodge Laplacian on $2$-forms with eigenvalue $\lambda$ would be of the form $\ast f$ where $f$ is a $\lambda$-eigenfunction, and any eigenform of degree $1$ with eigenvalue $\lambda$ would be of the form $df_0 + \ast d f_1$ for some $f_0$ and $f_1$ that are $\lambda$-eigenfunctions.
Second, if we assume that the metric is given in the form $g = F(z) dz\circ d\bar z$ where $F$ is a positive, $L$-periodic function on $\mathbb{C}$, then this metric will have nonconstant Gaussian curvature if and only if $F$ is not constant.  In any case, a $\lambda$-eigenfunction will be an $L$-periodic function $f$ on $\mathbb{C}$ that satisfies
$$
4f_{z\bar z} + \lambda F f = 0.
$$
So you are asking for a method of explicitly describing all of the $L$-periodic solutions of this equation.  I am not aware of any positive, nonconstant $F$ for which this is known.
If you go down a dimension and ask for the list of positive, $\pi$-periodic functions $F$ on the real line for which all of the $\pi$-periodic solutions of 
$$
f''(x) + \lambda F(x) f(x) = 0
$$
are explicitly known for each $\lambda>0$, I think you will find that this list is very short.  It makes me suspect that, in the $2$-dimensional case, the list is not longer.
