Random length-spectrum rigidity for free groups.

Abstract: We say that a subset

S s u b s e t e q F_{N}

is emph{spectrally rigid} if whenever

T_{1}, T_{2} i n c v_{N}

are points of the (unprojectivized) Outer space such that

| | g | |_{T_{1}} = | | g | |_{T_{2}}

for every

g i n S

then

T_{1} = T_{2}

in

c v n

. It is well-known that

F_{N}

itself is spectrally rigid; it also follows from the result of Smillie and Vogtmann that there does not exist a finite spectrally rigid subset of

F_{N}

. We prove that if

A

is a free basis of

F_{N}

(where

N g e 2

) then almost every trajectory of a non-backtracking simple random walk on

F_{N}

with respect to

A

is a spectrally rigid subset of

F_{N}

.
