Multiplication by two on the complex torus is a holomorphic unramified coveringIts kernel is $(\frac{1}{2}\Lambda )/\Lambda$, of order four; its derivative is the nonzero constant two. Therefore $\mathrm{deg}[2]=4$. Composition with the degree-two Weierstrass elliptic function givesIt is well-defined because changing $z$ by $\omega \in \Lambda$ changes $2z$ by the period $2\omega$.
