13 Elliptic Function
13 Elliptic Function Recall that a function g : C → Cˆ is an elliptic function if it is meromorphic and there exists a lattice L = {mω1 + nω2 | m, n ∈ Z} such that g(z + ω)= g(z) for all z ∈ C and all ω ∈ L where ω1,ω2 are complex numbers that are R-linearly independent. We have shown that an elliptic function cannot be holomorphic, the number of its poles are finite and the sum of their residues is zero. Lemma 13.1 A non-constant elliptic function f always has the same number of zeros mod- ulo its associated lattice L as it does poles, counting multiplicites of zeros and orders of poles. Proof: Consider the function f ′/f, which is also an elliptic function with associated lattice L. We will evaluate the sum of the residues of this function in two different ways as above. Then this sum is zero, and by the argument principle from complex analysis 31, it is precisely the number of zeros of f counting multiplicities minus the number of poles of f counting orders. Corollary 13.2 A non-constant elliptic function f always takes on every value in Cˆ the same number of times modulo L, counting multiplicities. Proof: Given a complex value b, consider the function f −b. This function is also an elliptic function, and one with the same poles as f. By Theorem above, it therefore has the same number of zeros as f. Thus, f must take on the value b as many times as it does 0. -
Nonintersecting Brownian Motions on the Unit Circle: Noncritical Cases
The Annals of Probability 2016, Vol. 44, No. 2, 1134–1211 DOI: 10.1214/14-AOP998 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2016 NONINTERSECTING BROWNIAN MOTIONS ON THE UNIT CIRCLE By Karl Liechty and Dong Wang1 DePaul University and National University of Singapore We consider an ensemble of n nonintersecting Brownian particles on the unit circle with diffusion parameter n−1/2, which are condi- tioned to begin at the same point and to return to that point after time T , but otherwise not to intersect. There is a critical value of T which separates the subcritical case, in which it is vanishingly un- likely that the particles wrap around the circle, and the supercritical case, in which particles may wrap around the circle. In this paper, we show that in the subcritical and critical cases the probability that the total winding number is zero is almost surely 1 as n , and →∞ in the supercritical case that the distribution of the total winding number converges to the discrete normal distribution. We also give a streamlined approach to identifying the Pearcey and tacnode pro- cesses in scaling limits. The formula of the tacnode correlation kernel is new and involves a solution to a Lax system for the Painlev´e II equation of size 2 2. The proofs are based on the determinantal × structure of the ensemble, asymptotic results for the related system of discrete Gaussian orthogonal polynomials, and a formulation of the correlation kernel in terms of a double contour integral. 1. Introduction. The probability models of nonintersecting Brownian motions have been studied extensively in last decade; see Tracy and Widom (2004, 2006), Adler and van Moerbeke (2005), Adler, Orantin and van Moer- beke (2010), Delvaux, Kuijlaars and Zhang (2011), Johansson (2013), Ferrari and Vet˝o(2012), Katori and Tanemura (2007) and Schehr et al. -

Abelian Solutions of the Soliton Equations and Riemann–Schottky Problems
Russian Math. Surveys 63:6 1011–1022 c 2008 RAS(DoM) and LMS Uspekhi Mat. Nauk 63:6 19–30 DOI 10.1070/RM2008v063n06ABEH004576 Abelian solutions of the soliton equations and Riemann–Schottky problems I. M. Krichever Abstract. The present article is an exposition of the author’s talk at the conference dedicated to the 70th birthday of S. P. Novikov. The talk con- tained the proof of Welters’ conjecture which proposes a solution of the clas- sical Riemann–Schottky problem of characterizing the Jacobians of smooth algebraic curves in terms of the existence of a trisecant of the associated Kummer variety, and a solution of another classical problem of algebraic geometry, that of characterizing the Prym varieties of unramified covers.

Introduction The famous Novikov conjecture which asserts that the Jacobians of smooth alge- braic curves are precisely those indecomposable principally polarized Abelian vari- eties whose theta-functions provide explicit solutions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation, fundamentally changed the relations between the classical algebraic geometry of Riemann surfaces and the theory of soliton equations. It turns out that the finite-gap, or algebro-geometric, theory of integration of non-linear equa- tions developed in the mid-1970s can provide a powerful tool for approaching the fundamental problems of the geometry of Abelian varieties. The basic tool of the general construction proposed by the author [1], [2]which g+k 1 establishes a correspondence between algebro-geometric data Γ,Pα,zα,S − (Γ) and solutions of some soliton equation, is the notion of Baker–Akhiezer{ function.} Here Γis a smooth algebraic curve of genus g with marked points Pα, in whose g+k 1 neighborhoods we fix local coordinates zα, and S − (Γ) is a symmetric prod- uct of the curve. -

We discussed mirror symmetry of tori in [12] emphasizing its “noncom- mutative” generalization. In this paper, we concentrate on the case of a commutative (usual) torus. Our result is a generalization of one by Polishchuk and Zaslow [42], [41], who studied the case of elliptic curve. The main results of this paper establish a dictionary of mirror symmetry between symplectic geometry and complex geometry in the case of tori of arbitrary dimension. We wrote this dictionary in the introduction of [12]. We present the argument in a way so that it suggests a possibility of its generalization. -
ELLIPTIC FUNCTIONS (Approach of Abel and Jacobi)
Math 213a (Fall 2021) Yum-Tong Siu 1 ELLIPTIC FUNCTIONS (Approach of Abel and Jacobi) Significance of Elliptic Functions. Elliptic functions and their associated theta functions are a new class of special functions which play an impor- tant role in explicit solutions of real world problems. Elliptic functions as meromorphic functions on compact Riemann surfaces of genus 1 and their associated theta functions as holomorphic sections of holomorphic line bun- dles on compact Riemann surfaces pave the way for the development of the theory of Riemann surfaces and higher-dimensional abelian varieties. Two Approaches to Elliptic Function Theory. One approach (which we call the approach of Abel and Jacobi) follows the historic development with motivation from real-world problems and techniques developed for solving the difficulties encountered. One starts with the inverse of an elliptic func- tion defined by an indefinite integral whose integrand is the reciprocal of the square root of a quartic polynomial. An obstacle is to show that the inverse function of the indefinite integral is a global meromorphic function on C with two R-linearly independent primitive periods. The resulting dou- bly periodic meromorphic functions are known as Jacobian elliptic functions, though Abel was actually the first mathematician who succeeded in inverting such an indefinite integral. Nowadays, with the use of the notion of a Rie- mann surface, the inversion can be handled by using the fundamental group of the Riemann surface constructed to make the square root of the quartic polynomial single-valued. The great advantage of this approach is that there is vast literature for the properties of the Jacobain elliptic functions and of their associated Jacobian theta functions. -

Lecture 9 Riemann Surfaces, Elliptic Functions Laplace Equation
Lecture 9 Riemann surfaces, elliptic functions Laplace equation Consider a Riemannian metric gµν in two dimensions. In two dimensions it is always possible to choose coordinates (x,y) to diagonalize it as ds2 = Ω(x,y)(dx2 + dy2). We can then combine them into a complex combination z = x+iy to write this as ds2 =Ωdzdz¯. It is actually a K¨ahler metric since the condition ∂[i,gj]k¯ = 0 is trivial if i, j = 1. Thus, an orientable Riemannian manifold in two dimensions is always K¨ahler. In the diagonalized form of the metric, the Laplace operator is of the form, −1 ∆=4Ω ∂z∂¯z¯. Thus, any solution to the Laplace equation ∆φ = 0 can be expressed as a sum of a holomorphic and an anti-holomorphid function. ∆φ = 0 φ = f(z)+ f¯(¯z). → In the following, we assume Ω = 1 so that the metric is ds2 = dzdz¯. It is not difficult to generalize our results for non-constant Ω. Now, we would like to prove the following formula, 1 ∂¯ = πδ(z), z − where δ(z) = δ(x)δ(y). Since 1/z is holomorphic except at z = 0, the left-hand side should vanish except at z = 0. On the other hand, by the Stokes theorem, the integral of the left-hand side on a disk of radius r gives, 1 i dz dxdy ∂¯ = = π. Zx2+y2≤r2 z 2 I|z|=r z − This proves the formula. Thus, the Green function G(z, w) obeying ∆zG(z, w) = 4πδ(z w), − should behave as G(z, w)= log z w 2 = log(z w) log(¯z w¯), − | − | − − − − near z = w. -

Let us begin with defining Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces. Definition 1.1 (Riemann surfaces). A Riemann surface is a paracompact Haus- S dorff topological space C with an open covering C = λ Uλ such that for each open set Uλ there is an open domain Vλ of the complex plane C and a homeomorphism (1.1) φλ : Vλ −→ Uλ −1 that satisfies that if Uλ ∩ Uµ 6= ∅, then the gluing map φµ ◦ φλ φ−1 (1.2) −1 φλ µ −1 Vλ ⊃ φλ (Uλ ∩ Uµ) −−−−→ Uλ ∩ Uµ −−−−→ φµ (Uλ ∩ Uµ) ⊂ Vµ is a biholomorphic function. Remark. (1) A topological space X is paracompact if for every open covering S S X = λ Uλ, there is a locally finite open cover X = i Vi such that Vi ⊂ Uλ for some λ. Locally finite means that for every x ∈ X, there are only finitely many Vi’s that contain x. X is said to be Hausdorff if for every pair of distinct points x, y of X, there are open neighborhoods Wx 3 x and Wy 3 y such that Wx ∩ Wy = ∅. -
