Abstract: Let

(X, g_{0})

be a simply connected, complete, negatively curved Riemannian manifold. We prove local and infinitesimal rigidity results for compactly supported deformations of the metric

g_{0}

. For any negatively curved metric

g

equal to

g_{0}

outside a compact, the identity map of

X

induces a natural boundary map between the boundaries at infinity of

X

with respect to

g_{0}

and

g

. We show that if

(g_{t})

is a smooth 1-parameter family of negatively curved metrics all equal to

g_{0}

outside a fixed compact then if all the boundary maps (between the boundaries of

X

with respect to

g_{0}

and

g_{t}

) are Moebius then the metrics

g_{t}

are all isometric to

g_{0}

. We also show that given a compact

K

in

X

, there is a neighbourhood of

g_{0}

in the

C^{2, a l p h a}

topology such that for any negatively curved metric

g

in this neighbourhood which is equal to

g_{0}

outside

K

, if the boundary map is Moebius and the

g_{0}

and

g

volumes of

K

agree then

g

is isometric to

g_{0}

.
