Abstract

We determine the Brauer group of the Deligne-Mumford stack Y0(2)\mathscr{Y}_0(2), the moduli space of elliptic curves with a marked 22-torsion subgroup over bases of arithmetic interest. Antieau and Meier determine the Brauer group for M1,1\mathscr{M}_{1,1}, the moduli stack of elliptic curves by exploiting the fact it is covered by the Legendre family and using the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence. Over an algebraically closed field, Shin uses the coarse space map to determine the Brauer group of M1,1\mathscr{M}_{1,1}. We combine techniques from both papers to determine the Brauer group of Y0(2)\mathscr{Y}_0(2).
