2-descent on elliptic curves, and units modulo squares of units
Setup: Let $p$ be a prime, let $f(x) \in \mathbb{Q}_p[x]$ be a separable monic cubic polynomial cutting out the maximal order $\mathcal{O}_{K_f}$ in the etale algebra $K_f := \mathbb{Q}_p[x]/(f(x))$, ...

Gluing together the moduli stacks of elliptic curves over Z[1/2] and Z[1/3]?
I have a long-running desire to understand what is the "global" moduli stack of elliptic curves, as a stack over $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$.
Recently I was pointed to Katz and Mazur's book, ...
