Legendre relation for Weierstrass quasi-periods

ID: legendre-relation-for-weierstrass-quasi-periods

For an oriented lattice basis with , write . These differences are constant because is periodic. Integrating zeta around a fundamental cell gives the displayed relation by its one simple pole of residue one. Oddness and the logarithmic derivative then give . This fixes both the sign and the exponent convention in sigma-product constructions.
