Third kind elliptic integrals and 1-motives

Abstract

In our PH.D. thesis we have showed that the Generalized Grothendieck's Conjecture of Periods applied to 1-motives, whose underlying semi-abelian variety is a product of elliptic curves and of tori, is equivalent to a transcendental conjecture involving elliptic integrals of the first and second kind, and logarithms of complex numbers. In this paper we investigate the Generalized Grothendieck's Conjecture of Periods in the case of 1-motives whose underlying semi-abelian variety is a non trivial extension of a product of elliptic curves by a torus. This will imply the introduction of elliptic integrals of the third kind for the computation of the period matrix of M and therefore the Generalized Grothendieck's Conjecture of Periods applied to M will be equivalent to a transcendental conjecture involving elliptic integrals of the first, second and third kind.
