Let M be a quadruply-punctured sphere with boundary components A; B; C; D. The SL(2; C)-character variety of M consists of equivalence classes of homomorphisms of 1 (M) ?! SL(2; C) and can be identiied with a quartic hypersurface in C 7. corresponding to representations with tr((A)) = a, tr((B)) = b, tr((C)) = c, tr((D)) = d is a cubic surface in C 3. We determine the singular
