(a) Let Λ=Z+Zτ\Lambda=\mathbb{Z}+\mathbb{Z} \tau be a lattice in C\mathbb{C}, where the imaginary part of τ\tau is positive. Define the terms elliptic function with respect to Λ\Lambda and order of an elliptic function.

Suppose that ff is an elliptic function with respect to Λ\Lambda of order m>0m>0. Show that the derivative ff^{\prime} is also an elliptic function with respect to Λ\Lambda and that its order nn satisfies m+1n2mm+1 \leqslant n \leqslant 2 m. Give an example of an elliptic function ff with m=5m=5 and n=6n=6, and an example of an elliptic function ff with m=5m=5 and n=9n=9.

[Basic results about holomorphic maps may be used without proof, provided these are accurately stated.]

(b) State the monodromy theorem. Using the monodromy theorem, or otherwise, prove that if two tori C/Λ1\mathbb{C} / \Lambda_{1} and C/Λ2\mathbb{C} / \Lambda_{2} are conformally equivalent then the lattices satisfy Λ2=aΛ1\Lambda_{2}=a \Lambda_{1}, for some aC\{0}a \in \mathbb{C} \backslash\{0\}.

[You may assume that C\mathbb{C} is simply connected and every biholomorphic map of C\mathbb{C} onto itself is of the form zcz+dz \mapsto c z+d, for some c,dC,c0c, d \in \mathbb{C}, c \neq 0.]
