Abstract: For a Riemannian covering $p \colon M_{2} \to M_{1}$, we compare the spectrum of an essentially self-adjoint differential operator $D_{1}$ on a bundle $E_{1} \to M_{1}$ with the spectrum of its lift $D_{2}$ on $p^{*}E_{1} \to M_{2}$. We prove that if the covering is infinite sheeted and amenable, then the spectrum of $D_{1}$ is contained in the essential spectrum of any self-adjoint extension of $D_{2}$. We show that if the deck transformations group of the covering is infinite and $D_{2}$ is essentially self-adjoint (or symmetric and bounded from below), then $D_{2}$ (or the Friedrichs extension of $D_{2}$) does not have eigenvalues of finite multiplicity and in particular, its spectrum is essential. Moreover, we prove that if $M_{1}$ is closed, then $p$ is amenable if and only if it preserves the bottom of the spectrum of some/any Schr\"{o}dinger operator, extending a result due to Brooks.
