The unmarked length spectrum of a compact <hyperbolic surface> is the multiset of lengths of its closed <geodesics>, with a consistent convention for primitive curves and orientation. The marked version labels lengths by free homotopy classes. The <Selberg trace formula> relates the unmarked multiset to the <Laplace-Beltrami operator> <spectrum>.
