Abstract: Combining McShane's identity on a hyperbolic punctured torus with Schmutz's work on the Markov Uniqueness Conjecture (MUC), we find that MUC is equivalent to the identity �egin{equation} sum_{n=1}^infty , left( 3- L_n ight) , = , 4 - varphi - sqrt 2 end{equation} where $L_n$ is the $n$th Lagrange number and $varphi=frac1+sqrt52$ is the golden ratio.
