Burns–Katok marked length spectrum rigidity conjecture
Burns–Katok marked length spectrum rigidity conjecture
Let be a smooth -dimensional closed manifold such that the space of Anosov metrics is nonempty. The marked length spectrum assigns to each isometry class its marked length function, giving a map
Burns–Katok conjecture. The marked length spectrum map is injective.
This conjecture asserts that the marked lengths of closed geodesics determine an Anosov metric up to an isometry isotopic to the identity. It is a central rigidity problem, known in important special cases but open in the stated generality.
