A McShane-type identity for closed surfaces

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove a McShane-type identity - a series, expressed in terms of geodesic lengths, that sums to 2πfor any closed hyperbolic surface with one distinguished point. To do so, we prove a generalized Birman-Series theorem showing that the set of complete geodesics on a hyperbolic surface with large cone angles is sparse.
