3 Recall classical denitions An elliptic function is a meromorphic function in C that is doubly periodic: f (z + 2ω) = f (z), f (z + 2ω ) = f (z), Im ω ω > 0. Properties For any nonconstant elliptic functions f (z), g(z), there exists a polynomial P(x 1, x 2 ), such that P(f (z), g(z)) 0, any elliptic function h(z) is a rational function of f (z) and f (z). The Weierstrass function (z; g 2, g 3 ) is the unique elliptic function with periods 2ω, 2ω and poles only in lattice points such that lim It denes the uniformization of an elliptic curve V (z) 2 = 4 (z) 3 g 2 (z) g 3. ( ) (z) 1 z 0 z = 0. 2

4 Relations between parameters and periods The elliptic curve in standard Weierstrass form a V = {(x, y) y 2 = 4x 3 g 2 x g 3 }. The parameters ω, ω, η, η are determined by the relations dx 2ω = y, dx 2ω = y, 2η = xdx y, xdx 2η = y, where dx y b xdx and y are a set of holomorphic dierentials on V, a and b are basis cycles on the curve such that ηω ωη = πi 2. Vice versa, g 2 = (n,m) (0,0) 60 (2mω + 2nω ) 4, g 3 = a (n,m) (0,0) b 140 (2mω + 2nω ) 6.

5 Sigma function The Weierstrass ζ-function is dened by ζ(z; g 2, g 3 ) = (z; g 2, g 3 ), We have the relation η = ζ(ω; g 2, g 3 ). lim (zζ(z)) = 1. z 0 The Weierstrass σ-function is dened by ( ln σ(z; g2, g 3 ) ) ( ) σ(z) = ζ(z; g2, g 3 ), lim = 1. z 0 z It is an entire odd quasiperiodic function homogeneous with respect to the grading deg z =1, deg g k = 2k. We have σ(z; g 2, g 3 ) = z g 2z 5 2 5! 6g 3z 7 g 2 2z9 7! 4 8! 18g 2g 3 z 11 + (z 13 ) 11!

6 Elliptic function of level N For a lattice L in C consider the elliptic function g(x) with divisor N 0 N z. We demand that g(x) = x N Set f (x) = g(x) 1/N where f (x) = x Periodic properties f (x) = σ(x)σ(z) exp (αx ζ(z)x). σ(z x) f (x + 2ω k ) = f (x) exp (2η k z + 2ω k (α ζ(z))). For z = 2n N ω 1 + 2m N ω 2, α = 2n N η 1 2m N η 2 + ζ(z), we get elliptic functions of level N. The function f (x) is elliptic with respect to a sublattice L of L.

7 Let the bundle CP(ξ) B with ber CP(2) be the projectivization of a 3-dimensional complex vector bundle ξ B. A Hirzebruch genus L f : Ω U R is called CP(2)-multiplicative, if we have L f [CP(ξ)] = L f [CP(2)]L f [B]. Theorem (V.M. Buchstaber, E.Yu. Bunkova 2014) Let L f be a CP(2)-multiplicative genus. If L f [CP(2)] 0, then L f is the two-parametric Todd genus, and f (x) = eαx e βx αe αx βe βx, If L f [CP(2)] = 0, then L f is level 3 elliptic genus and 2 (x) + a2 2 f (x) =. (x) a (x) + b a3 4 Here g 2 = 1 4 (8b 3a3 )a, g 3 = 1 24 (8b2 12a 3 b + 3a 6 ).

8 2-nd Hirzebruch functional equation 1 f (x 1 x 2 )f (x 1 x 3 ) + 1 f (x 2 x 1 )f (x 2 x 3 ) + 1 f (x 3 x 1 )f (x 3 x 2 ) = C. Solutions are formal series f (x) such that f (0) = 0, f (0) = 1. If C 0, then f (x) = eαx e βx αe αx βe βx. If C = 0, then f (x) is elliptic function of level 3 and 2 (x) + a2 2 f (x) =. (x) a (x) + b a3 4 Here g 2 = 1 4 (8b 3a3 )a, g 3 = 1 24 (8b2 12a 3 b + 3a 6 ).

9 n-th Hirzebruch functional equation n+1 j=1 i j 1 f (x i x j ) = C Solutions are formal series f (x) such that f (0) = 0, f (0) = 1. The elliptic genus of level N is strictly multiplicative in bre bundles with a manifold M d with c 1 (M d ) 0 mod N as bre and a compact connected Lie group G of automorphisms of M d as structure group. (F. Hirzebruch comparing a paper by P.S. Landweber with a paper by S. Ochanine) => Elliptic function of level n + 1 is a (two-parametric) solution to n-th Hirzebruch equation (with C = 0).

10 Let the bundle CP(ξ) B with ber CP(2) be the projectivization of a 3-dimensional complex vector bundle ξ B. A Hirzebruch genus L f : Ω U R is called CP(2)-multiplicative, if we have L f [CP(ξ)] = L f [CP(2)]L f [B]. Theorem (V.M. Buchstaber, E.Yu. Bunkova 2014) Let L f be a CP(2)-multiplicative genus. If L f [CP(2)] 0, then L f is the two-parametric Todd genus, and f (x) = eαx e βx αe αx βe βx, If L f [CP(2)] = 0, then L f is level 3 elliptic genus and 2 (x) + a2 2 f (x) =. (x) a (x) + b a3 4 Here g 2 = 1 4 (8b 3a3 )a, g 3 = 1 24 (8b2 12a 3 b + 3a 6 ).

11 Application to isogenies of elliptic curves Theorem Let and J be the discriminant and J-invariant of an elliptic curve with generators (2ω 1, 2ω 2 ). Then the discriminant and J-invariant of elliptic curves with generators (2ˆω 1 = 2ω 1, 2ˆω 2 = 2 3 ω 2) and (2ˆω 1 = 2 3 ω 1, 2ˆω 2 = 2ω 2 ) can be expressed as follows: Let us introduce formal parameters p, s such that = 1 27 p3 s, J = 1 (p s)(p 9s) 3 64 p 3, s then ˆ = 27s 3 p, Ĵ = 1 (s p)(s 9p) 3 64 s 3. p

12 1-st Hirzebruch functional equation 1 f (x 1 x 2 ) + 1 f (x 2 x 1 ) = C. Elliptic function of level 2 is Jacobi's elliptic sine sn(x). sn (x) 2 = 1 2δsn(x) 2 + εsn(x) 4. sn(x) is the exponential of universal formal group of the form F (u, v) = Thus B(u) 2 = 1 2δu 2 + εu 4. u 2 v 2 ub(v) vb(u).

13 Formal group Let R be a commutative ring with unity 1. A commutative one-dimensional formal group over R is a formal series F (u, v) = u + v + a i,j u i v j, a i,j R, with conditions i,j>0 F (v, u) = F (u, v), F (u, F (v, w)) = F (F (u, v), w). It's exponential f (x) R Q[[x]], f (0) = 0, f (0) = 1, is determined by the addition law f (x + y) = F (f (x), f (y)).

14 From the addition law we get the relations F (u, v) v = w(u), v=0 F (f (x), f (y)) = f (x + y) 2 F (u, v) v 2 = w(u)(w (u) w 1 ), v=0 3 F (u, v) v 3 = w(u) 2 w (u) 2w(u)w 2 + v=0 + w(u)(w (u) w 1 )(w (u) 2w 1 ).

15 1-st Hirzebruch functional equation 1 f (x 1 x 2 ) + 1 f (x 2 x 1 ) = C. Elliptic function of level 2 is Jacobi's elliptic sine sn(x). sn (x) 2 = 1 2δsn(x) 2 + εsn(x) 4. sn(x) is the exponential of universal formal group of the form F (u, v) = Thus B(u) 2 = 1 2δu 2 + εu 4. u 2 v 2 ub(v) vb(u).

16 Theorem (V.M. Buchstaber, E.Yu. Bunkova 2015) The exponential of the universal formal group of the form is the elliptic function of level 3. F (u, v) = u2 C(v) v 2 C(u) uc(v) 2 vc(u) 2
