Counting elliptic curves with prescribed level structures over number fields

Abstract: Harron and Snowden counted the number of elliptic curves over

m a t h b b Q

up to height

X

with torsion group

G

for each possible torsion group

G

over

m a t h b b Q

. In this paper we generalize their result to all number fields and all level structures

G

such that the corresponding modular curve

X_{G}

is a weighted projective line

m a t h b b P (w_{0}, w_{1})

and the morphism

X_{G} o X (1)

satisfies a certain condition. In particular, this includes all modular curves

X_{1} (m, n)

with coarse moduli space of genus

0

. We prove our results by defining a size function on

m a t h b b P (w_{0}, w_{1})

following unpublished work of Deng, and working out how to count the number of points on

m a t h b b P (w_{0}, w_{1})

up to size

X

.
