Abstract: Given a configuration $mathbfx$ of $n$ distinct points in hyperbolic $3$-space $H^3$, Michael Atiyah associated $n$ polynomials $p_1,ldots,p_n$ of a variable $tinmathbbC{P}^1$, of degree $n-1$, and conjectured that they are linearly independent over $mathbbC$, no matter which configuration $mathbfx$ 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.
