Rivin's bounded multiplicity conjecture for simple length spectra

Let MM be a hyperbolic surface. The multiplicity of a length in the simple length spectrum is the number of distinct simple closed geodesics on MM having that length.

Rivin's conjecture. The multiplicity in the simple length spectrum is bounded above by a constant depending only on the topology of the surface.

This predicts a uniform topological bound despite the variation of hyperbolic metrics. The source attributes the conjecture to Rivin but gives no resolution status.
