Let $a\ge0$, show that: $$ \int\limits_0^1\frac{a+2x}{\sqrt{x(1-x)(a+x)(1+a+x)}}dx = \pi \tag{1} $$ For $a=0$, the integral is: $\displaystyle\int_0^1\frac{dx}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}=\frac{\pi}{2}$ Splitting ...

This might be a simple question, but I'm quite new to algebraic geometry. I know we can relate the genus $2$ sextic curve $$ W_6=\left\{(x,y)\in \mathbb{C}\, : \, y^2=1-x^6\right\}$$ To the genus $1$ ...
