arXiv:2510.18983v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the spectral rigidity problem for Sinai billiards with finite horizon, specifically asking whether the geometry of the billiard table can be recovered from the lengths of its (marked) periodic trajectories. To address this, we introduce an enriched marked length spectrum EL and prove that two Sinai billiards sharing the same EL must be isometric. Our approach involves approximating the billiard flow using geodesic flows on smooth Riemannian surfaces. In the limit, these flows converge to CAT(0) spaces, which encode both the lengths of periodic orbits and the geometry of the boundary. We adapt Otal's original method -- developed for marked length spectrum rigidity in negatively curved surfaces -- to this new setting. Here, the lack of curvature control is offset by metric comparison estimates. By integrating the analysis of geodesic flows with perturbative techniques for periodic orbits, we establish a rigidity theorem for Sinai
