" Heuristics for counting elliptic curves"
Abstract: We give some heuristics for counting elliptic curves, that is,
equations of the form Y^2=X^3+aX+b. First we indicate how many
curves there should be with discriminant 4a^3+27b^2 bounded by
a parameter T. Then we start to add extra conditions, such as
requiring the elliptic curve to have a point (X,Y) with
"small" coordinates, or to have non-trivial torsion subgroup, etc.
