We study the regularity of a conjugacy $H$ between a hyperbolic toral automorphism $A$ and its
smooth perturbation $f$. We show that if $H$ is weakly differentiable then it is $C^{1+\text{Holder}}$ and, if $A$ is also weakly irreducible, then $H$ is $C^\infty$. As a part of the proof, we establish results of independent interest on Holder continuity of a measurable conjugacy between linear cocycles over a hyperbolic system. As a corollary, we improve
regularity of the conjugacy to $C^\infty$ in prior local rigidity results. This is a joint work with B. Kalinin an V. Sadovskaya.
