For negatively curved Riemannian manifolds, Margulis gave an asymptotic formula for the number of closed geodesics with length below a given threshold. I will describe joint work with Gerhard Knieper and Khadim War in which we obtain the corresponding result for surfaces without conjugate points by first proving uniqueness of the measure of maximal entropy and then following the approach of recent work by Russell Ricks, who established the asymptotic estimates in the setting of CAT(0) geodesic flows.
