We derive an identity for Margulis invariants of affine deformations of a complete orientable one-ended hyperbolic surface following the identities of McShane, Mirzakhani and Tan–Wong–Zhang. As a corollary, a deformation of the surface which infinitesimally lengthens all interior simple closed curves must infinitesimally lengthen the boundary.

À partir des identités de McShane, de Mirzakhani et de Tan–Wong–Zhang, nous obtenons une identité pour les invariants de Margulis associés à une déformation affine d’une surface hyperbolique complète, orientable, à un trou. Il en découle le corollaire suivant : une déformation de la surface, dont les courbes simples fermées intérieures s’allongent infinitésimalement, doit également allonger le bord de manière infinitésimale.
