Lift to a doubly periodic meromorphic function on . Integrate it around a fundamental parallelogram whose boundary avoids all poles. Integrals over opposite edges cancel by periodicity, while the residue theorem gives
Thus the principal-part map from part (b) takes values in the codimension-one hyperplane on which the sum of residue coefficients is zero. The Mittag--Leffler existence criterion on a compact Riemann surface says that prescribed principal parts occur precisely when their residues pair trivially with every holomorphic one-form. On a complex torus the holomorphic one-forms are the scalar multiples of , so the single condition is exactly the displayed residue sum. Hence the image has dimension
, and the kernel of constants has dimension one. For ,Equivalently, this is the genus-one case of the Riemann-Roch theorem for a positive divisor.
