On Mostow rigidity for variable negative curvature

Abstract

We prove a finiteness theorem for the class of complete finite volume Riemannian manifolds with pinched negative sectional curvature, fixed fundamental group, and of dimension >2. One of the key ingredients is that the fundamental group of such a manifold does not admit a small nontrivial action on an R-tree.
