Tamagawa products of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$

Abstract: We explicitly construct the Dirichlet series $$L_{\mathrm{Tam}}(s):=\sum_{m=1}^{\infty}\frac{P_{\mathrm{Tam}}(m)}{m^s},$$ where $P_{\mathrm{Tam}}(m)$ is the proportion of elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$ in short Weierstrass form with Tamagawa product $m.$ Although there are no $E/\mathbb{Q}$ with everywhere good reduction, we prove that the proportion with trivial Tamagawa product is $P_{\mathrm{Tam}}(1)=0.5053\dots.$ As a corollary, we find that $L_{\mathrm{Tam}}(-1)=1.8193\dots$ is the average Tamagawa product for elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}.$ We give an application of these results to canonical and Weil heights.
