Extract

Let x = ℘′(u) and y = ½℘(u), where the Weierstrass ℘-function has invariants g2 = 4A, g3 = 4B and differentiation with respect to the parameter u is denoted by a dash, so that

These writers do not use ωm and øm but express everything in terms of ψm. I have changed the sign of ψm when m is even, so as always to have a positive first coefficient.

Although, as stated earlier, the constant term of ψ3k(x) is not divisible by p qua function of A and B, it may be so when A and B have definite values.
