Say that a function on the complex plane C\mathbb{C} is periodic if f(z+1)=f(z)f(z+1)=f(z) and f(z+i)=f(z)f(z+i)=f(z) for all zz. If ff is a periodic analytic function, show that ff is constant.

If ff is a meromorphic periodic function, show that the number of zeros of ff in the square [0,1)×[0,1)[0,1) \times[0,1) is equal to the number of poles, both counted with multiplicities.

Define

f(z)=1z2+w[1(zw)21w2]f(z)=\frac{1}{z^{2}}+\sum_{w}\left[\frac{1}{(z-w)^{2}}-\frac{1}{w^{2}}\right]

where the sum runs over all w=a+biw=a+b i with aa and bb integers, not both 0 . Show that this series converges to a meromorphic periodic function on the complex plane.
