N2 - We show that the real-valued function Sα on the moduli space M0,n of pointed rational curves, defined as the critical value of the Liouville action functional on a hyperbolic 2-sphere with n ≥ 3 conical singularities of arbitrary orders α = {α1,..., αn}, generates accessory parameters of the associated Fuchsian differential equation as their common antiderivative. We introduce a family of Kähler metrics on M0,n parameterized by the set of orders a, explicitly relate accessory parameters to these metrics, and prove that the functions Sα are their Kähler potentials.
