On the $$\mathrm{PGL}_{2}$$-invariant quadruples of torsion points of elliptic curves

Abstract

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve and $\pi:E\to\mathbb{P}^{1}$ a standard double cover identifying $\pm P\in E$. It is known that for some torsion points $P_{i}\in E$, $1\leq i\leq4$, the cross ratio of $\{\pi(P_{i})\}_{i=1}^{4}$ is independent of $E$. In this article, we will give a complete classification of such quadruples.
