= Conformal cross-ratio

A conformal cross-ratio is a dimensionless combination of point separations invariant under conformal transformations. Four generic points in dimension greater than two have two independent cross-ratios,
$$
u=\frac{x_{12}^2x_{34}^2}{x_{13}^2x_{24}^2},
\qquad
v=\frac{x_{14}^2x_{23}^2}{x_{13}^2x_{24}^2}.
