The purpose of this paper is to present the first continuous families of Riemannian manifolds isospectral on functions but not on 1-forms, and simultaneously, the first continuous families of Riemannian manifolds with the same marked length spectrum but not the same 1-form spectrum. The examples presented here are Riemannian three-step nilmanifolds and thus provide a counterexample to the Ouyang-Pesce Conjecture for higher-step nilmanifolds. Ouyang and Pesce independently showed that all isospectral deformations of two-step nilmanifolds must arise from the Gordon-Wilson method for constructing isospectral nilmanifolds. In particular, all continuous families of Riemannian two-step nilmanifolds that are isospectral on functions must also be isospectral on p-forms for all p. They conjectured that all isospectral deformations of nilmanifolds must arise in this manner. These examples arise from a general method for constructing isospectral Riemannian nilmanifolds previously introduced by the author.
