Abstract

In this paper we show that manifolds without conjugate points exhibit rigidity phenomena similar to that studied in [BGS, Section I.5]. The main theorem is that if M = X × R is given the Riemannian product metric g, then any metric without conjugate points on M which agrees with g outside a compact set is isometric to g.
