Abstract
Let be a field, be independent variables and . The symmetric group acts on by permuting the variables, and the projective linear group acts by for each . The fixed field is called "the field of cross-ratios". Given a subgroup , H. Tsunogai asked whether rational over . When the second author has shown that is rational over if and only if has an orbit of odd order in . In this paper we answer Tsunogai's question for .
