When I do the sum



 Sum[(a + (b + [Pi] n)^2)^(-1), n, -[Infinity], [Infinity]]


the result reads



$$beginarraycc
{ &
beginarraycc
fraccoth left(sqrta+i bright)+coth left(sqrta-i bright)2 sqrta & arg left(sqrta-i bright)geq -fracpi 2land arg left(sqrta-i bright)leq fracpi 2 \
fraccoth left(sqrta+i bright)2 sqrta+fraccoth left(sqrta-i bright)2 sqrta-frac1sqrta & textTrue \
endarray
\
endarray
$$

What is the meaning of "True" in the second result?
If I get rid of "pi", the result is simply:
$$ frac-pi cot left(pi sqrt-a+pi bright)-pi cot left(pi sqrt-a-pi bright)2 sqrt-a$$

          See Piecewise. It is like the cases environment in $LaTeX$. In native math, one would use "else" instead of True.
