| Feb 16, 2010 at 15:53 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | "Then G4 and G6 can be recovered as certain period integrals along the fundamental cycles of the elliptic curve. Is that right?". I don't think so. G_4 and G_6 are the numbers showing up in the polynomial equation relating the Weierstrass P-function to its derivative. See any book on elliptic curves over C, or Serre's "Course in arithmetic" (last chapter) for discussions on this sort of thing. | |
