A transcendence result on elliptic functions using functions of two variables

Abstract

Let $\wp $ be a Weierstrass $\wp $-function with algebraic $g_2$ and $g_3$, which has a non-zero real period $\omega $. We show that at least one of $\pi r$ and $\wp(\omega r)$ is transcendental for any non-zero real number $r$.
