The {\rm PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})^2-configuration space of four points in the torus S^1\times S^1

Abstract: The torus

m a t h b b T = S^{1} i m e s S^{1}

appears as the ideal boundary

p a r t i a l_{i} n f t y A d S^{3}

of the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space

A d S^{3}

, as well as the F"urstenberg boundary

m a t h b b F (X)

of the rank-2 symmetric space

X = {m S O}_{0} (2, 2) / m S O (2) i m e s m S O (2)

. We introduce cross-ratios on the torus in order to parametrise the

m P S L (2, m a t h b b R)^{2}

configuration space of quadruples of pairwise distinct points in

m a t h b b T

and define a natural M"obius structure in

m a t h b b T

and therefore to

m a t h b b F (X)

and

p a r t i a l_{i} n f t y A d S^{3}

as well.
