Let g be a Riemannian metric with ergodic geodesic flow. Then if some metric ḡ has the same geodesics (regarded as unparameterized curves) with g, then the metrics are homothetic. If two metrics on a closed surface of genus greater than one have the same geodesics, then they are homothetic. Let g, ḡ be two C-smooth Riemannian metrics on a manifold M of dimension n ≥ 2. They are projectively equivalent if they have the same geodesics regarded as unparameterized curves. For a given metric g, there always exist trivial examples of projectively equivalent metrics: for any positive constant C, the metric Cg is projectively equivalent to g. Consider the fiberwise-linear mapping G : TM → TM given by G = gḡαj and the fiberwise-linear mapping A : TM → TM given by A def = (det(G)) 1 n+1G−1. Consider the characteristic polynomial det(A − λ Id) = c0λ + c1λ + · · · + cn and the mappings S0, S1, . . . , Sn−1 : TM → TM given by
