Symmetries of cross-ratios and the equation for M\"obius structures

Metric Geometry 2020-04-06 v1

Abstract

We consider orthogonal representations ηn:SnRN\eta_n:S_n \curvearrowright \mathbb{R}^N of the symmetry groups SnS_n, n4n\ge 4, with N=n!/8N=n!/8 motivated by symmetries of cross-ratios. For n=5n=5 we find the decomposition of η5\eta_5 into irreducible components and show that one of the components gives the solution to the equations, which describe M\"obius structures in the class of sub-M\"obius structures. In this sense, the condition defining M\"obius structures is hidden already in symmetries of cross-ratios.
