Quantitative marked length spectrum rigidity for surfaces

Differential Geometry 2025-09-23 v1

Abstract

We consider a closed negatively curved surface (M,g)(M, g) with marked length spectrum sufficiently close (multiplicatively) to that of a hyperbolic metric g0g_0 on MM. We show there is a smooth diffeomorphism F:MMF:M \to M with derivative bounds close to 1, depending on the ratio of the two marked length spectrum functions. This is a two-dimensional version of our main result in [But25b].
