    In this survey article, the author discusses results and problems related to several invariant measures for the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of a compact negatively curved Riemannian manifold \(M\). The discussion is centered at the conjecture of Katok and Sullivan that a manifold as above is locally symmetric if the measure classes of any two of the three measures -- visibility, Patterson-Sullivan, or harmonic measure -- on \(\widetilde{M} (\infty)\) coincide.
