Abstract: Seminal works by Birch and Ihara gave formulas for the $m$th power moments of the traces of Frobenius endomorphisms of elliptic curves over $mathbb{F}_p$ for primes $pgeq5$. Recent works by Kaplan and Petrow generalized these results to the setting of elliptic curves that contain a subgroup isomorphic to a fixed finite abelian group $A$. We revisit these formulas and determine a simple expression for the zeta function $Z_p(A;t)$, the generating function for these $m$th power moments. In particular, we find that [ Z_p(A;t) = frac{widehat{Z}_p(A; t)}{displaystyle prod_{a in extrm{Frob}_p(A)}(1 - at)},] where $extrm{Frob}_p(A):=a,colon-2sqrtpleqaleq2sqrtp,extandaequivp+1pmod|A|$, and $widehat{Z}_p(A;t)$ is an easily computed polynomial that is determined by the first $Biglceilfrac2lfloor2sqrtpfloor|A|Bigceil$ power moments. These rational zeta functions have two natural applications. We find rational generating functions in weight aspect for traces of Hecke operators on $S_k(Gamma)$ for various congruence subgroups $Gamma$. We also prove congruence relations for power moments by making use of known congruences for traces of Hecke operators.
