I will present a survey of rigidity questions for negatively curved manifolds. In particular, we will explore geodesic flow conjugacy, entropy rigidity and marked length spectrum rigidity. There are also nice connections with the spectrum of the Laplacian and I might talk about Vigneras' examples of isospectral, nonisometric hyperbolic surfaces.
