$\ell$-adic étale cohomology of the moduli of stable elliptic fibrations

Abstract: We determine the $\ell$-adic \'etale cohomology and the eigenvalues of the geometric Frobenius for the moduli stack $\mathcal{L}{1,12n} := \mathrm{Hom}{n}(\mathbb{P}^1, \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{1,1})$ of stable elliptic fibrations over $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ with $12n$ nodal singular fibers and a marked Weierstrass section over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_q$ with $\mathrm{char}(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_q) \neq 2,3$.
