If $X$ is a compact Riemann surface, then any holomorphic differential on $X$ has $2g-2$ zeros.



I would like to know how to prove this. If possible, without some "heavy machinery" like divisors and the Riemann-Roch theorem, which I don't understand very well yet. I really think that we can use the Riemann-Hurwitz to do this, but I am not sure how.

    For $X=mathbbC/(mathbbZ+imathbbZ)$ then $D = (0,1)+i(0,1)$ is a fundamental domain that is an open set such that every point of $X$ is contained in $overlineD$ and $D$ doesn't contain any element twice.

If you know what is the Euler characteristic, this is easy. A holomorphic form is a section of the cotangent bundle, whose Euler characteristic is $-(2-2g)$ (this bundle is the dual of the tangent bundle), and all zeroes of this section have to be counted with a $+1$, as we choose an holomorphic form.
