On the Atiyah problem on hyperbolic configurations of four points

Abstract: Given a configuration

m a t h b f x

of

n

distinct points in hyperbolic

3

-space

H^{3}

, Michael Atiyah associated

n

polynomials

p_{1}, l d o t s, p_{n}

of a variable

t i n m a t h b b C P^{1}

, of degree

n - 1

, and conjectured that they are linearly independent over

m a t h b b C

, no matter which configuration

m a t h b f x

one starts with. We prove this conjecture for

n = 4

in two cases: in case the

4

points are non-coplanar, and in case one of the points lies in the hyperbolic convex hull of the other three.
