Define what is meant by the degree of a non-constant holomorphic map between compact connected Riemann surfaces, and state the Riemann-Hurwitz formula.
Let be an elliptic curve defined by some lattice . Show that the map
is biholomorphic, and that there are four points in fixed by .
Let be the quotient surface (the topological surface obtained by identifying and , for each and let be the corresponding projection map. Denote by the complement of the four points fixed by , and let . Describe briefly a family of charts making into a Riemann surface, so that is a holomorphic map.
Now assume that the complex structure of extends to , so that is a Riemann surface, and that the map is in fact holomorphic on all of . Calculate the genus of .
