Abstract

Let X1tX_1^t and X2tX_2^t be volume preserving Anosov flows on a 3-dimensional manifold MM. We prove that if X1tX_1^t and X2tX_2^t are C0C^0 conjugate then the conjugacy is, in fact, smooth, unless MM is a mapping torus of an Anosov automorphism of T2\mathbb T^2 and both flows are constant roof suspension flows. We deduce several applications. Among them is a new result on rigidity of Anosov diffeorphisms on T2\mathbb T^2 and a new "weighted" marked length spectrum rigidity result for surfaces of negative curvature.

V2: 27 pages, one figure. The weighted marked length spectrum rigidity is improved to allow weights which are not necessarily positive. We now have an optimal version of this result
