Cross-ratio rigidity conjecture for surfaces in \mathcal{S}

Let R\mathcal{R} and R\mathcal{R}' be two surfaces in S\mathcal{S}. Suppose the cell of R\mathcal{R} at position (i,j)(i,j) has cross ratio ki,jk_{i,j}, while the cell of R\mathcal{R}' at position (i,j)(i,j) has cross ratio ki,jk'_{i,j}. Assume that ki,j=ki,jk_{i,j}=k'_{i,j} for all i,ji,j. Cross-ratio conjecture. Then R\mathcal{R} and R\mathcal{R}' have the same conformal type; equivalently, they are equivalent up to biholomorphism. This would show that the cross ratios determine the conformal type of a surface and would facilitate constructing probability distributions on the full space of surfaces with a square grid net, potentially advancing the study of parabolicity.
