| contents | We prove an extension of Basmajian's identity to $n$-Hitchin representations of compact bordered surfaces. For $n=3$, we show that this identity has a geometric interpretation for convex real projective structures analogous to Basmajian's original result. As part of our proof, we demonstrate that, with respect to the Lebesgue measure on the Frenet curve associated to a Hitchin representation, the limit set of an incompressible subsurface of a closed surface has measure zero. This generalizes a classical result in hyperbolic geometry. Finally, we recall the Labourie-McShane extension of the McShane-Mirzakhani identity to Hitchin representations and note a close connection to Basmajian's identity in both the hyperbolic and the Hitchin settings. |
