elliptic function


Let Λ be a lattice in the sense of numbertheoryMathworldPlanetmath, i.e. a 2-dimensional free groupMathworldPlanetmath over whichgenerates over .

An elliptic functionMathworldPlanetmath ϕ, with respect to the latticeΛ, is a meromorphicPlanetmathPlanetmath funtion ϕ: which is Λ-periodicPlanetmathPlanetmath:

ϕ(z+λ)=ϕ(z),z,λΛ

Remark: An elliptic function which is holomorphic isconstant. Indeed such a functionMathworldPlanetmath would induce a holomorphicfunction on /Λ, which is compact (and it is astandard result from Complex Analysis that any holomorphicfunction with compact domain is constant, this follows fromLiouville’s Theorem).

Example: The Weierstrass -function (see elliptic curveMathworldPlanetmath)is an elliptic function, probably the most important. In fact:

Theorem 1.

The field of elliptic functions with respect to a latticeΛ is generated by and (the derivative of).

Proof.

See [2], chapter 1, theorem 4.∎
