Topology 40, No. 6, 1295-1323 (2001).

The author proves that if two Zariski dense representations (not necessarily discrete, nor faithful, nor co-finite volume), from a group \(G\) into \(\text{Iso}(X)\) where \(X\) is a rank one symmetric space, have the proportional marked length spectrum, then they are conjugate (Theorem A). As a generalization of this result, in Section 8 the author shows that a Zariski dense representation into the isometry group of the product of rank one symmetric spaces is determined by the marked cross ratio.
