Abstract
We apply the matching functions technique in the setting of contact Anosov flows which satisfy a bunching assumption. This allows us to generalize the 3-dimensional rigidity result of Feldman-Ornstein~\cite{FO}. Namely, we show that if two such Anosov flows are conjugate then they are , conjugate for some or even conjugate under some additional assumptions. This, for example, applies to -pinched geodesic flows on compact Riemannian manifolds of negative sectional curvature. We can also use our result to recover Hamendst\"adt's marked length spectrum rigidity result for real hyperbolic manifolds.
