If (6) were false for a function f ,then f would give a bijective (by (5)) map
from the torus to the Riemann sphere (= C
). This is impossible for many
topological reasons (the torus has a hole but the sphere doesn't).

So far, we do not have any examples of nonconstant doubly periodic func-
tions. This situation is remedied by the Weierstrass -function .
THEOREM 9.3
Given a lattice L ,define the W eierstra ss -function by
ω 2 .
z 2 +
ω∈L
ω
( z )= ( z ; L )= 1

( z − ω ) 2

(9.1)
=0
Then
1. T he sum defining ( z ) converges absolutelyanduniform ly on com pact
setsnotcontaining elem entsof L .
2. ( z ) is m erom orphicin C and has a doublepo eateach ω ∈ L .
3. ( −z )= ( z ) for all z ∈ C .
4. ( z + ω )= ( z ) for all ω ∈ L .
5. T he set of doubly periodicfunctions for L is C ( ℘, ℘ ) .Inother w ords,
every doubly periodicfunction isarationalfunction of and itsderiva-
tive .
PROOF Let C be a compact set, and let M =Max {|z||z ∈ C} .If z ∈ C
and |ω|≥ 2 M ,then |z − ω|≥|ω|/ 2and | 2 ω − z|≤ 5 |ω|/ 2, so

The preceding calculation explains why the terms 1 2 are included. With-
out them, the terms in the sum would be comparable to 1 2 . Subtracting
this 1 2 makes the terms comparable to 1 3 . This causes the sum to con-
verge, as the following lemma shows.
