Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, the constant$ C$, which is defined in the letter for a fixed ordinary elliptic curve, is viewed as a special value of formal function on a vast ind-profinite "Galois cover of the `Hasse Domain"'$ H$ parametrizing all ordinary elliptic curves, viewed as a formal scheme.
