Family 339. Katok's entropy rigidity conjecture.
The authors are OpenAI. This companion does not verify the proof and does not adopt it as a theorem of Ngo Cheung’s series. It is not a premise. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. Anti-de Sitter results are not a de Sitter state, not Em02-E’s relational lapse, not XVI-P’s QdS scheme, and not XVI-Q’s sigma-image record. No quantum coefficient is admitted.

Proves Katok's entropy rigidity conjecture for closed connected Riemannian manifolds of dimension at least three with strictly negative sectional curvature: normalized Liouville measure maximizes entropy for the geodesic flow if and only if the metric is locally symmetric.
For every closed connected smooth Riemannian manifold of dimension at least three with strictly negative sectional curvature, we prove that normalized Liouville measure has maximal entropy for the unit-speed geodesic flow if and only if the metric is locally symmetric. This resolves Katok's entropy rigidity conjecture positively in these dimensions, including all rank-one symmetric types at arbitrary scale.
