چکیده
hence it yields an isomorphism between the quotient additive group C/2πiZ and the multiplicative group C×. The group C× is the group of complex points of the multiplicative group Gm; z 7→ e is the exponential function of the multiplicative group Gm. We shall replace this algebraic group by an elliptic curve. We could replace it also by other commutative algebraic groups. As a first example, the exponential function of the additive group Ga is C → C z 7→ z

متن کاملAn Introduction to Irrationality and Transcendence Methods. 3 Auxiliary Functions in Transcendence Proofs 3.1 Explicit Functions
This yields an irrationality criterion (which is the basic tool for proving the irrationality of specific numbers), and Liouville extended it into a transcendence criterion. The proof by Liouville involves the irreducible polynomial f ∈ Z[X] of the given irrational algebraic number α. Since α is algebraic, there exists an irreducible polynomial f ∈ Z[X] such that f(α) = 0. Let d be the degree o...
متن کامل7 Elliptic Functions and Transcendence
Transcendental numbers form a fascinating subject: so little is known about the nature of analytic constants that more research is needed in this area. Even when one is interested only in numbers like π and eπ that are related to the classical exponential function, it turns out that elliptic functions are required (so far, this should not last forever!) to prove transcendence results and get a ...

We already met a number of open problems in these notes, in particular in § 1.1.1. We collect further conjectures in this field, but this is only a very partial list of questions which deserve to be investigated further. Part of this section if from [W 2004], especially § 3. When K is a field and k a subfield, we denote by trdegkK the transcendence degree of the extension K/k. In the case k = Q...
