In all dimensions, we prove that the marked length spectrum of a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with Anosov geodesic flow and non-positive curvature locally determines the metric in the sense that two close enough metrics with the same marked…

We show that if $M$ is a closed, connected, oriented surface, and two Anosov magnetic systems on $M$ are conjugate by a volume-preserving conjugacy isotopic to the identity, with their magnetic forms in the same cohomology class, then the…

Let $\Sigma$ be a smooth compact connected oriented surface with boundary. A metric on $\Sigma$ is said to be of Anosov type if it has strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points, and a hyperbolic trapped set. We prove that two metrics of…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed oriented surface. Gaussian thermostats on $M$ correspond to the geodesic flows arising from metric connections, including those with non-zero torsion. These flows may not preserve any absolutely continuous…

We show that, on an oriented compact surface, two sufficiently $C^2$-close Riemannian metrics with strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points, hyperbolic trapped set for their geodesic flows, and same marked boundary distance, are…

Any two compact, complete, one-dimensional geodesic spaces with identical marked length spectrum have isometric $\pi_1$-hull. The present version contains errors, notably in Lemmas 2.2 and 2.3 (path cancellations can be more complicated),…

In this paper we prove that the space of flat metrics (nonpositively curved Euclidean cone metrics) on a closed, oriented surface is marked length spectrally rigid. In other words, two flat metrics assigning the same lengths to all closed…

We prove that closed negatively curved locally symmetric spaces are characterized up to isometry among all homotopy equivalent negatively curved manifolds by the Lyapunov spectra of the periodic orbits of their geodesic flows. This is done…

In this paper, we show that simple, thick negatively curved two-dimensional P-manifolds, a large class of surface amalgams, are marked length spectrum rigid. That is, if two piecewise negatively curved Riemannian metrics (satisfying certain…

We consider a closed negatively curved surface $(M, g)$ with marked length spectrum sufficiently close (multiplicatively) to that of a hyperbolic metric $g_0$ on $M$. We show there is a smooth diffeomorphism $F:M \to M$ with derivative…

We define a notion of marked length spectrum for $S^1$-symmetric Riemannian metrics on the two-sphere having only one equator. We prove that isospectral metrics in this class have conjugate geodesic flows. Under a further…

Let $X_1^t$ and $X_2^t$ be volume preserving Anosov flows on a 3-dimensional manifold $M$. We prove that if $X_1^t$ and $X_2^t$ are $C^0$ conjugate then the conjugacy is, in fact, smooth, unless $M$ is a mapping torus of an Anosov…

We show, using standard results in length spectrum rigidity and symplectic homology, that if the unit tangent bundles of two compact surfaces of negative curvature are exact symplectomorphic, then the underlying surfaces are isometric, and…

We refine the recent local rigidity result for the marked length spectrum obtained by the first and third author in \cite{Guillarmou-Lefeuvre-18} and give an alternative proof using the geodesic stretch between two Anosov flows and some…

We prove that a $C^2$-generic Riemannian metric on a closed surface has either an elliptic closed geodesic or an Anosov geodesic flow. As a consequence, we prove the $C^2$-stability conjecture for Riemannian geodesic flows of closed…

We construct a class of Riemannian metrics in closed surfaces of genus greater than one, having Anosov geodesic flows, and some regions of positive curvature, such that for each such surface, there exists a smooth curve of conformal…

We consider a closed Riemannian manifold $M$ of negative curvature and dimension at least 3 with marked length spectrum sufficiently close (multiplicatively) to that of a locally symmetric space $N$. Using the methods of Hamenst\"adt, we…

We consider an optical hypersurface $\Sigma$ in the cotangent bundle $\tau:T^*M\to M$ of a closed manifold $M$ endowed with a twisted symplectic structure. We show that if the characteristic foliation of $\Sigma$ is Anosov, then a smooth…

An exact magnetic system over a closed manifold $M$ consists of a pair $(g,\alpha)$, where $g$ is a Riemannian metric and $\alpha$ is a 1-form encoding a magnetic field. In this context, we consider a generalization of the marked length…

We prove that every closed orientable surface S of negative Euler characteristic admits a pair of finite-degree covers which are length isospectral over S but generically not simple length isospectral over S. To do this, we first…
