Abstract: Suppose that Omega is a lattice in the complex plane and let sigma be the corresponding Weierstrass sigma-function. Assume that the point au associated to Omega in the standard fundamental domain has imaginary part at most 1.9. Assuming that Omega has algebraic invariants g2,g3 we show that a bound of the form cdm(logH)n holds for the number of algebraic points of height at most H and degree at most d lying on the graph of sigma. To prove this we apply results by Masser and Besson. What is perhaps surprising is that we are able to establish such a bound for the whole graph, rather than some restriction. We prove a similar result when, instead of g2,g3, the lattice points are algebraic. For this we naturally exclude those (z,sigma(z)) for which zinOmega.


Summary: Suppose that \(\Omega\) is a lattice in the complex plane and let \(\sigma\) be the corresponding Weierstrass \(\sigma \)-function. Assume that the point \(\tau\) associated with \(\Omega\) in the standard fundamental domain has imaginary part at most 1.9. Assuming that \(\Omega\) has algebraic invariants \(g_2\), \(g_3\) we show that a bound of the form \(c d^m (\log H)^n\) holds for the number of algebraic points of height at most \(H\) and degree at most \(d\) lying on the graph of \(\sigma \). To prove this we apply results by Masser and Besson. What is perhaps surprising is that we are able to establish such a bound for the whole graph, rather than some restriction. We prove a similar result when, instead of \(g_2\), \(g_3\), the lattice points are algebraic. For this we naturally exclude those \((z,\sigma(z))\) for which \(z\in\Omega \).
