Every identity-preserving biholomorphism of C/Λ lifts to multiplication by a nonzero complex number ζ satisfying ζΛ=Λ. Relative to a Z-basis of Λ, multiplication by ζ is represented by a unimodular matrix A∈GL2​(Z). Its real determinant is ∣ζ∣2, while complex multiplication preserves orientation, so detA=1 and ∣ζ∣=1. The Cayley-Hamilton theorem gives
ζ2−tr(A)ζ+1=0.

Consequently 2Reζ=tr(A)∈{−2,−1,0,1,2}, and ζ is a root of unity of order 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6.
