The $ā„˜$-function satisfies $ā„˜'^2=4(ā„˜-e_1)(ā„˜-e_2)(ā„˜-e_3)$. Supposing that none of $e_1,e_2,e_3$ is zero, show that the equation $ā„˜(z)=0$ has two distinct solutions $z= ±a$. For any two distinct points $b,cāˆˆā„‚/Ī“$ write down a meromorphic function whose only poles are simple poles at $b$ and $c$. Solution. Since $ā„˜'(a)^2=-4e_1e_2e_3≠0$, $a$ is not a ramification point, so $ā„˜(z)=0$ has two distinct solutions, let one of them be $a$, then the other is $-a$, since $ā„˜$ is even. The linear map $\frac{2a}{b-c}(z-b)+a$ maps $b,c$ to $a,-a$. So $\frac1{ā„˜(\frac{2a}{b-c}(z-b)+a)}$ is a meromorphic function whose only poles are simple poles at $b$ and $c$.
