We prove, among other things that (i) If (0.1) has a solution u then there is a solution up of (0.2) with p= (p, q) satisfying (0.3). Moreover, up(z) is continuous with respect to p and uniformly converges to u(z) in any compact subset of Eτ\ { 0 } as p→ 0, however, up blows up at z= 0. This provides an example for describing blowing-up phenomena without concentration;(ii) If (0.2) is invariant under the change z→ - z, i.e., (p, q) is either (ωi2,ωj2)i≠ j for any τ∈ H, or q= - p and ℘″(p) = 0 if g2(τ) ≠ 0 , then (0.1) has the same number of even solutions as (0.2). The converse of (i) remains open. In this paper, we establish a connection between curvature equations and the elliptic KdV theory. The results (i) and (ii) are proved by using this connection.MEAN-FIELD EQUATIONS; MODULAR-FORMS; HYPERELLIPTIC CURVES; EXISTENCEjournal article10.1007/s00208-023-02580-32-s2.0-85147911284WOS:000935340900001https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85147911284
