    The main result of this paper concerns the rigidity of compact Riemannian manifolds \(M\) and \(N\) of nonpositive sectional curvature, dimension \(\geq 3\) and rank \(\geq 2\): if \(F:SM\to SN\) is a \(C^0\) conjugacy between the geodesic flows, then there exists an isometry \(G:M\to N\) inducing the same isomorphism between the fundamental groups as \(F\).
