The Weierstrass ℘-function for a lattice L is periodic with respect to L: shifting the
input by any lattice element leaves the value unchanged.
The derivative ℘' of the Weierstrass ℘-function is also L-periodic.
The Weierstrass ℘-function is an elliptic function: meromorphic on ℂ and L-periodic.
The derivative ℘' is an elliptic function: meromorphic on ℂ and L-periodic.
The only lattice point inside the fundamental parallelogram of L (as a ZSpan-style
fundamental domain) is the origin.
The Weierstrass ℘-function has a pole of multiplicity exactly 2 at the origin.
The derivative ℘' has a pole of multiplicity exactly 3 at the origin.
The set of poles of the Weierstrass ℘-function inside the fundamental parallelogram (anchored
at 0) consists of just the origin.
The set of poles of ℘' inside the fundamental parallelogram (anchored at 0) consists of
just the origin.
The Weierstrass ℘-function has elliptic order 2: the sum of pole multiplicities in a
fundamental parallelogram equals 2.
For any constant c, the shifted function z ↦ ℘(z) - c is also an elliptic function.
Subtracting a constant from ℘ does not change its order at the origin: z ↦ ℘(z) - c still
has meromorphic order -2 at 0.
For any constant c, the function z ↦ ℘(z) - c has a pole of multiplicity 2 at the
origin.
The poles of z ↦ ℘(z) - c in the fundamental parallelogram (anchored at 0) are exactly the
origin, just as for ℘ itself.
The elliptic order of z ↦ ℘(z) - c is 2 for any constant c: as a corollary, every value
of ℘ is attained exactly twice (with multiplicity) in each fundamental parallelogram.
