We discuss upper and lower bounds for the size of gaps in the
length spectrum of negatively curved manifolds. For manifolds with algebraic
generators for the fundamental group, we establish the existence of exponential
lower bounds for the gaps. On the other hand, we show that the existence
of arbitrarily small gaps is topologically generic: this is established both for
surfaces of constant negative curvature (Theorem 3.1) and for the space of
negatively curved metrics (Theorem 4.1). While arbitrarily small gaps are
topologically generic, it is plausible that the gaps are not too small for almost
every metric. One result in this direction is presented in Section 5.
