Weierstrass uniformization by half-period values ($\mathbb{C}/\Lambda \cong \{y^2=4x^3-g_{2}x-g_3\}\cup \{O\}$)

The Weierstrass elliptic function and its derivative give an isomorphism $z\mapsto (\wp (z),{\wp }^{\prime }(z))$ from a one-dimensional complex torus to a smooth plane cubic, with $0$ sent to its identity at infinity. The three nonzero two-torsion points of a complex torus are zeros of ${\wp }^{\prime }$. Its triple pole implies that these three zeros are simple. If two half-period values of the Weierstrass elliptic function coincided, $\wp -e$ would have at least four zeros counted with multiplicity, contradicting its double pole. The three cubic roots are therefore distinct, proving smoothness of an algebraic variety. The degree-two map $\wp$ has fibers $\{z,-z\}$, distinguished by ${\wp }^{\prime }$ away from the half-periods, proving bijectivity. A line pulls back to an elliptic function with a triple pole, and the zero-pole sum of an elliptic function says that its three intersections sum to zero on the torus. This gives exactly the chord-and-tangent group law, including repeated intersections interpreted by intersection multiplicity.
