文摘A natural compactification of the virtual configuration space of N points on the Riemann sphere C is constructed by using cross-ratios. We show that this compactification is homeomorphic to the Bers' compactification of the virtual moduli space of a punctured Riemann sphere of type N. In particular, the system of global and explicit coordinates of this standard compactification is given by cross-ratios.
