Feb 4, 2014 at 17:03 comment added Sasha Anan'in The Poincaré and Beltrami-Klein models of the hyperbolic space ${\mathbb H}_{\mathbb R}^n$ (we discussed that, for $n=3$, the conformal and holomorphic structures on the absolute ${\mathbb S}^2$ are the same). The formula (I dislike as depending on coodinates) $z\mapsto\frac{2z}{|z|^2+1}$ establish an isometry (up to a scalar factor) between them. Another coincidence between models is ${\mathbb H}_{\mathbb R}^4={\mathbb H}_{\mathbb H}^1$. Hope arxiv.org/abs/math/0702714 arxiv.org/abs/0907.4469 arxiv.org/abs/0907.4469 arxiv.org/abs/1107.0346 may be helpful.

Jan 30, 2014 at 22:12 comment added MvG Although this question has been answered in terms of how to take the $\mathbb{CP}^1$ description and convert it to this world, I'm still interested in solutions which tackle the problem from a different angle, since there might be room for generalizations, e.g. defining a transformation in terms of circles not points, or generalizing to higher dimensions.

removed deprecated tag 'geometry'; replaced tag 'ag.algebraic-geometry' with tag 'mg.metric-geometry' (which I think is more appropriate; please feel free to change this); minor latex editing and correction of typos

Point out that linearity of Lorenz conditions is a problem
