Abstract
Suppose that is a lattice in the complex plane and let be the corresponding Weierstrass -function. Assume that the point associated with in the standard fundamental domain has imaginary part at most 1.9. Assuming that has algebraic invariants we show that a bound of the form holds for the number of algebraic points of height at most and degree at most lying on the graph of . To prove this we apply results by Masser and Besson. What is perhaps surprising is that we are able to establish such a bound for the whole graph, rather than some restriction. We prove a similar result when, instead of , the lattice points are algebraic. For this we naturally exclude those for which .
