Any six points on the Riemann sphere can be split into three pairs by a triple of disjoint discs

Abstract

We prove that for any six points on the Riemann sphere there exist three disjoint closed (or open) discs, each of which contains exactly two of the six distinguished points. This statement shows that recently proposed method to numerically evaluate Kleinian hyperelliptic functions of genus 2 is applicable to any complex curve of genus 2.
