contents In this article, we study the eigenvalues and eigenfunction problems for the Laplace operator on multivalued functions, defined on the complement of the 2n points on the round sphere. These eigenvalues and eigensections could also be viewed as functions on the configuration spaces of points, introduced and systematically studied by Taubes-Wu. Critical eigenfunctions, which serve as local singularity models for gauge theoretical problems, are of particular interest. Our study focuses on the existence and rigidity problems pertaining to these critical eigenfunctions. We prove that for generic configurations, the critical eigenfunctions do not exist. Furthermore, for each n>1, we construct infinitely many configurations that admit critical eigensections. Additionally, we show that the Taubes-Wu tetrahedral eigensections are deformation rigid and non-degenerate. Our main tools are algebraic identities developed by Taubes-Wu and finite group representation theory.
