For a period lattice and an integer , this sum converges absolutely. Pairing and makes it zero when is odd. For even weights it supplies the Laurent coefficients of the Weierstrass elliptic function. Scaling the period lattice gives .
Equal sums give equal Klein j-invariants, hence the complex lattices are homothetic. If both sums are nonzero, the scaling factor obeys and is . If only vanishes, the lattice is homothetic to the square lattice and the possible fourth roots of unity already preserve it. If only vanishes, it is homothetic to the hexagonal lattice and the possible sixth roots of unity preserve it. The two sums cannot vanish together because the elliptic discriminant is nonzero.
