Kodaira-Neron statistics for rational elliptic curves with $j$-invariant 0 and 1728

Abstract

Elliptic curves over $\Q$ with $j$-invariant 0 or 1728 have additive reduction at all primes of bad reduction. In addition, all elliptic curves with $j$-invariant 0 have bad reduction at $p=3$ and all elliptic curves with $j$-invariant 1728 have bad reduction at $p=2$. In this paper we count elliptic curves with $j$-invariant 0 and 1728 by height and determine asymptotics for the various Kodaira-Néron types at 3 and 2, respectively. We also give related statistics by holding the torsion subgoup and isogeny-torsion graph constant.
