It is the space of pairs of quadrilaterals abcd and ABCD , where the second is inscribed into the first, considered up to pro jective transformations.
Moduli spaces of convex projective structures on surfaces
Moreover for any pair of adjacent triangles AiAj Ak and Aj AkAl forming a quadrilateral AiAj AkAl inscribed into the quadrilateral aiaj ak al one can also compute a pair of cross-ratios and assign it to two points on the diagonal Aj Ak .
Moduli spaces of convex projective structures on surfaces
We assign to every triple of flags at the vertices of a Farey triangle their triple ratio, and to every quadruple of flags at the vertices of a Farey quadrilateral the related two cross-ratios, pictured at the diagonal.
