Marked length spectrum rigidity for Anosov surfaces

Differential Geometry 2024-09-09 v5 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

Let Σ\Sigma be a smooth closed oriented surface of genus 2\geq 2. We prove that two metrics on Σ\Sigma with the same marked length spectrum and Anosov geodesic flow are isometric via an isometry isotopic to the identity. The proof combines microlocal tools with the geometry of complex curves.
