Let $M$ be compact negatively curved manifold, $Γ=π_1(M)$ and $\tilde{M}$ be its universal cover. Denote by $B =\partial \tilde{M}$ the geodesic boundary of $\tilde{M}$ and by $ν$ the Patterson-Sullivan measure on $X$. In this note we prove that the associated unitary representation of $Γ$ on $L^2(B,ν)$ is irreducible. We also establish a new rigidity phenomenon: we show that some of the geometry of $M$, namely its marked length spectrum, is reflected in this $L^2$-representations.
