Abstract: This paper is the next installment of our analysis of length-commensurable locally symmetric spaces begun in Publ. math. IHES 109(2009), 113-184. For a Riemannian manifold $M$, we let $L(M)$ be the weak length spectrum of $M$, i.e. the set of lengths of all closed geodesics in $M$, and let $mathcalF(M)$ denote the subfield of $mathbbR$ generated by $L(M)$. Let now $M_i$ be an arithmetically defined locally symmetric space associated with a simple algebraic $mathbbR$-group $G_i$ for $i=1,2$. Assuming Schanuel's conjecture from transcendental number theory, we prove (under some minor technical restrictions) the following dichotomy: either $M_1$ and $M_2$ are length-commensurable, i.e. $mathbbQcdotL(M_1)=mathbbQcdotL(M_2)$, or the compositum $mathcalF(M_1)mathcalF(M_2)$ has infinite transcendence degree over $mathcalF(M_i)$ for at least one $i=1$ or $2$ (which means that the sets $L(M_1)$ and $L(M_2)$ are very different).
