Here the spectra mean the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a / c space, which contain the geometrical information on the space. q- These spectral evolution equations are expected to be useful to analyze r the time evolution of the geometrical structures of the Universe. In par- g : ticular, it is indispensable to investigate the time evolution of the spectral v i distance between two spaces, which is a measure of closeness between two X geometries defined in terms of the spectra. r a As an application, we investigate the time evolution of the spectral dis- tance between two Universes that are very close to each other; it is the first necessary step for a
