Jul 18, 2022 at 2:11 comment added Malkoun @NoamD.Elkies, it is simpler indeed, though probably equivalent. But see Alexandre Eremenko's answer who brought up an issue with using the $\delta$ invariant. Thank you though for a much simpler definition!
Jul 17, 2022 at 15:26 comment added Noam D. Elkies Maybe easier to define $\delta = \min_{i\neq j} d(D_i,D_j)$ where $d$ is the ${\rm SL}_2({\bf C})$-invariant distance between disjoint discs on the Riemann sphere. This $d$ can be defined as follows: for disjoint discs $D, D'$ there is a unique $r > 1$ such that some $g \in {\rm SL}_2({\bf C})$ takes $D$ to the unit disc $\{z \leq 1\}$ and $D'$ to $\{z \geq r\}$. (This $g$ is determined uniquely up to composition with rotations, i.e. $z \mapsto ag(z)$ with $|a|=1$.) Then $d(D,D') = \log r$.

$n$ should be at least $3$ for $\delta$ to make sense
