Abstract: The classical problem of counting elliptic curves with a rational N-isogeny can be phrased in terms of counting rational points on certain moduli stacks of elliptic curves. Counting points on stacks poses various challenges, and I will discuss these along with a few ways to overcome them. I will also talk about the theory of heights on stacks developed in recent work of Ellenberg, Satriano and Zureick-Brown and use it to count elliptic curves with an N-isogeny for certain N. The talk assumes no prior knowledge of stacks and is based on joint work with Brandon Boggess.
