Abstract: In this note, we consider the rigidity of the focal decomposition of closed hyperbolic surfaces. We show that, generically, the focal decomposition of a closed hyperbolic surface does not allow for non-trivial topological deformations, without changing the hyperbolic structure of the surface. By classical rigidity theory this is also true in dimension $ngeq3$. Our current result extends a previous result that flat tori in dimension $ngeq2$ that are focally equivalent are isometric modulo rescaling.
