We prove an extension of Basmajian's identity to nn-Hitchin representations of compact bordered surfaces. For n=3n=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 L…
