Algebraic Geometry 2026-01-19 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

The cross-ratio degree problem asks for the number of configurations of nn points in P1\mathbb{P}^1 that satisfy n3n-3 specified cross-ratio conditions. It is known that the maximal cross-ratio degree for 8 points is at least 4. In this paper, we will see that the maximal cross-ratio degree for 8 points in P1\mathbb{P}^1 is equal to 4.
