Quotient of a one-dimensional complex torus by negation

ID: quotient-of-a-one-dimensional-complex-torus-by-negation

Away from the four fixed points, negation acts freely and the quotient map is a holomorphic double covering. Near a fixed point, an invariant coordinate is , so the quotient extends across the image as a Riemann surface and the map has ramification index two. The Riemann-Hurwitz formula gives
hence the quotient has genus zero and is biholomorphic to the Riemann sphere.
