Abstract: We prove a new sharp asymptotic with the lower order term of zeroth order on mathcalZmathbbFq(t)(mathcalB) for counting the semistable elliptic curves over mathbbFq(t) by the bounded height of discriminant Delta(X). The precise count is acquired by considering the moduli of nonsingular semistable elliptic fibrations over mathbbP1, also known as semistable elliptic surfaces, with 12n nodal singular fibers and a distinguished section. We establish a bijection of K-points between the moduli functor of semistable elliptic surfaces and the stack of morphisms mathcalL1,12ncongmathrmHomn(mathbbP1,overlinemathcalM1,1) where overlinemathcalM1,1 is the Deligne-Mumford stack of stable elliptic curves and K is any field of characteristic eq2,3. For mathrmchar(K)=0, we show that the class of mathrmHomn(mathbbP1,mathcalP(a,b)) in the Grothendieck ring of K-stacks, where mathcalP(a,b) is a 1-dimensional (a,b) weighted projective stack, is equal to mathbbL(a+b)n+1−mathbbL(a+b)n−1. Consequently, we find that the motive of the moduli mathcalL1,12n is mathbbL10n+1−mathbbL10n−1 and the cardinality of the set of weighted mathbbFq-points to be . In the end, we formulate an analogous heuristic on mathcalZmathbbQ(mathcalB) for counting the semistable elliptic curves over mathbbQ by the bounded height of discriminant Delta through the global fields analogy.
