Abstract

We prove the weak form of the generalized Batyrev-Manin-Malle conjecture formulated in \cite{ellenberg2021heights} for the stack Sym2P1:=(P1×P1)/S2\operatorname{Sym}^2\mathbb{P}^1 := (\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1)/S_2, where the S2S_2 action just permutes the two coordinates. In particular, we show that the diagonal ΔSym2P1\Delta \subset \operatorname{Sym}^2\mathbb{P}^1 is an accumulating substack.
