We give an identity involving sums of functions of lengths of simple closed geodesics, known as a McShane identity, on any non-orientable hyperbolic surface with boundary which generalises Mirzakhani's identities on orientable hyperbolic…

We generalize McShane's identity for the length series of simple closed geodesics on a cusped hyperbolic surface to hyperbolic cone-surfaces (with all cone angles $\le \pi$), possibly with cusps and/or geodesic boundary. In particular, by…

We survey some of our recent results on length series identities for hyperbolic (cone) surfaces, possibly with cusps and/or boundary geodesics; classical Schottky groups; representations/characters of the one-holed torus group to $SL(2,…

The authors derive a McShane identity for once-punctured super tori. Relying upon earlier work on super Teichm\"uller theory by the last two-named authors, they further develop the supergeometry of these surfaces and establish asymptotic…

In this survey, we discuss four classes of identities due principally to Basmajian, McShane, Bridgeman-Kahn and Luo-Tan on hyperbolic manifolds and provide a unified approach for proving them. We also elucidate on the connections between…

A Margulis spacetime is a complete affine 3-manifold M with nonsolvable fundamental group. Associated to every Margulis spacetime is a noncompact complete hyperbolic surface S. We show that every Margulis spacetime is orientable, even…

We prove a McShane-type identity - a series, expressed in terms of geodesic lengths, that sums to 2\pi for any closed hyperbolic surface with one distinguished point. To do so, we prove a generalized Birman-Series theorem showing that the…

This paper applies the authors' forthcoming work, "Affine deformations of a three-holed sphere" in Lorentzian geometry to prove a result in hyperbolic geometry. Namely, an infinitesimal deformation of a hyperbolic structure of a three-holed…

The lengths of geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces satisfy intriguing equations, known as identities, relating these lengths to geometric quantities of the surface. This paper is about a large family of identities that relate lengths of closed…

We show that Norbury's McShane identity for nonorientable cusped hyperbolic surfaces N generalizes to quasifuchsian representations of pi_1(N) as well as pseudo-Anosov mapping Klein bottles with singular fibers given by N.

This paper is a continuation of the previous paper of the author[M]. We show that an affine deformation space of a hyperbolic surface of type (g,b) can be parametrized by Margulis invariants and affine twist parameters with a certain…

We derive generalizations of McShane's identity for higher ranked surface group representations by studying a family of mapping class group invariant functions introduced by Goncharov and Shen which generalize the notion of horocycle…

Margulis spacetimes are complete affine 3-manifolds that were introduced to show that the cocompactness condition of Auslander's conjecture is necessary. There are Lorentzian manifolds that are obtained as a quotient of the three…
