Mar 8, 2012 at 22:12 comment added alvarezpaiva There seem to be various notions that go under the name "length spectrum". The simplest, that I've also seen called the length set is simply the set of lengths of periodic geodesics. One may want to record multiplicities and then you get the multiset that Joseph mentioned in his remark. For my question, I'd be quite happy to know if there are examples of non-isometric Riemannian metrics on the projective plane with the same length set.
Mar 8, 2012 at 21:56 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @Dmitri: My understanding is that it is the multiset of the lengths of the closed geodesics: list all the lengths of those geodesics, sort them, and record how many times a length is repeated. A variation is the simple length spectrum, the multiset of the lengths of the simple closed geodesics.
