Uniformization


Jacobi theta functions can be used to uniformize all elliptic curves. Jacobi elliptic functions may also be used to uniformize some hyperelliptic curves, although only two such examples are known. The classical example is the Burnside curve, and the second was found by Farkas-Kra around 1995.
