A variation of McShane's identity for once-punctured torus bundles (Q2565073)

\textit{G. McShane} [PhD-Thesis Warwick (1991)] described an identity concerning the lengths of simple closed geodesics on a once-punctured torus carrying a complete finite-area hyperbolic structure. The identity states that \(\sum (1+ e^{l(\gamma)} )^{-1} ={1 \over 2}\), where \(\gamma\) ranges over all homotopy classes of simple closed curves, and \(l(\gamma)\) is the hyperbolic length of the unique closed geodesic in the homotopy class. The result is true, independently of the hyperbolic structure on the punctured torus. An alternative proof of the identity is given in [the author, Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 28, 73-78 (1996; Zbl 0854.57009)]. In this paper, we describe a variation of McShane's identity which applies to hyperbolic once-punctured torus bundles.
