871] A CASE OF COMPLEX MULTIPLICATION WITH IMAGINARY MODULUS, 
or, what is the same thing,

We have 7 8 =1, that is, 7 4 =±1. Considering first the case 7 4 =1, here 
u 2 
and thence

1 + 2u ° = 1 4- — , =1+2, = 3 or — 1; 
V y 
moreover, u 8 = v 8 =l. We have thus only the non-elliptic formulae 
dy 
dx 
and 
If however, 7 J = — 1, then 
viz. this is 
1 — y 1 1 — cc-

if to be an imaginary cube root of unity (to 2 +- co 4- 1 = 0); hence 
u 8 = ( 7 ft>) 4 = — ft). 
Moreover,

or say,

and we thus have, as in the above-mentioned Note,
