On the Six Cross-Ratios of Four Points

If one of the cross-ratios of a range (ABCD) is λ, the others are 1/λ, 1-λ, 1/1-λ, λ-1/λ, λ/λ-1.

The homographic operations which derive the six cross-ratios from any one of them must clearly form a group of order six; since all these cross-ratios can be obtained as cross-ratios of the range AB'C'D', where B'C'D' is any permutation of BCD, this group is identical in structure with the permutation group of three symbols.

Abstract


If one of the cross-ratios of a range (ABCD) is λ, the others are 1/λ, 1-λ, 1/1-λ, λ-1/λ, λ/λ-1.

The homographic operations which derive the six cross-ratios from any one of them must clearly form a group of order six; since all these cross-ratios can be obtained as cross-ratios of the range AB'C'D', where B'C'D' is any permutation of BCD, this group is identical in structure with the permutation group of three symbols.
