Can someone give me a hint how to show the recurrence relations for G_k(z)
,in wiki it's for the d_n's?

Other than proving it by induction I don't have clue what to do here.

Thanks.

Obviously I need to use here some property of Eisenstein series, I just need to know which?

Anyone?
:rolleyes:
 
Were talking about the recurrence relation here, right?

I haven't worked out all the details, but here's how the proof is supposed to go:

The Weierstrass \wp function (see here) satisfies the following differential equation:

[\wp'(z)]^2 = 4[\wp(z)]^3 - g_2\wp(z) - g_3

where g_2 and g_3 are the same as defined in the wiki article on Eisenstein series. Differentiate this equation and cancel \wp'(z) to get the second order differential equation

\wp''(z) = 6[\wp(z)]^2 - \frac{1}{2}g_2

Now, as in the Eisenstein series article, we have

\wp(z) = z^{-2} + z^2 \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{d_kz^{2k}}{k!} = \frac{1}{z^2} + \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}(2k + 1)G_{2k+2}z^{2k}

Differentiate twice and equate like powers of z.
 
I am an idiot, the second ODE you gave me I proved before this task.

I shouldv'e known it would be that easy.

Thanks.
