    Two Riemannian metrics on the same manifold are called geodesically equivalent if they have the same geodesics considered as unparametrized curves. In this paper, given two Riemannian metrics on a closed connected manifold, the authors construct \(n\) self-adjoint differential operators such that if the metrics have the same geodesics then the operators commute pairwise and with the Beltrami-Laplace operator of the first metric. If the operators commute and if they are linearly independent, then the metrics have the same geodesics.
