In this paper, we study an interesting curve, the so-called Manhattan curve, associated with a pair of boundary-preserving Fuchsian representations of a (non-compact) surface; in particular, representations corresponding to Riemann surfaces with cusps. Using thermodynamic formalism (for countable state Markov shifts), we prove the analyticity of the Manhattan curve. Moreover, we derive several dynamical and geometric rigidity results, which generalize results of Burger [Intersection, the Manhattan curve, and Patterson–Sullivan theory in rank 2. Int. Math. Res. Not.1993(7) (1993), 217–225] and Sharp [The Manhattan curve and the correlation of length spectra on hyperbolic surfaces. Math. Z.228(4) (1998), 745–750] for convex cocompact Fuchsian representations.
