Marked boundary rigidity for surfaces

Differential Geometry 2018-05-08 v2 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

We show that, on an oriented compact surface, two sufficiently C2C^2-close Riemannian metrics with strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points, hyperbolic trapped set for their geodesic flows, and same marked boundary distance, are isometric via a diffeomorphism that fixes the boundary. We also prove that the same conclusion holds on a compact surface for any two negatively curved Riemannian metrics with strictly convex boundary and same marked boundary distance, extending a result of Croke and Otal.
