Abstract

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 the same marked boundary distance are isometric via a diffeomorphism that fixes the boundary. We also prove that the same conclusion holds on a compact surface for any two negatively curved Riemannian metrics with strictly convex boundary and the same marked boundary distance, extending a result of Croke and Otal.
