Strong Rigidity of Locally Symmetric Spaces. (AM-78), Volume 78 / / G. Daniel Mostow.

Locally symmetric spaces are generalizations of spaces of constant curvature. In this book the author presents the proof of a remarkable phenomenon, which he calls "strong rigidity": this is a stronger form of the deformation rigidity that has been investigated by Selberg, Calabi-Vesentini...
