Hitchin's conjecture on stabilizers of invariant quadruples of torsion points

Let S={(ri,θi)}i=14R4S=\{(r_i,\theta_i)\}_{i=1}^{4}\in\mathcal{R}_4 have common order nn. Let ΓS={γTSL2(Z):γS=S}\Gamma_S=\{\gamma^{-T}\in\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}):\gamma\cdot S=S\} be the stabilizer of SS, and let ΔS={γSL2(Z):μS(γτ)=μS(τ) for any τX(n)}\Delta_S=\{\gamma\in\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}):\mu_S(\gamma\cdot\tau)=\mu_S(\tau)\text{ for any }\tau\in X(n)\} be the stabilizer of the associated meromorphic invariant μS\mu_S. The groups are considered up to the SL2(Z)\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})-equivalence in R4\mathcal{R}_4. Hitchin's conjecture. For all but finitely many SS, one has

ΓS=ΔS.\Gamma_S=\Delta_S.

Theorem 1 classifies the quadruples for which μS\mu_S is constant, resolving Hitchin's preceding conjecture; the finiteness assertion for equality of the two stabilizers is the next natural question and is not resolved here.
