Abstract

We give a survey of Denef's rationality theorem on pp-adic integrals, its uniform in pp versions, the relevant model theory, and a number of applications to counting subgroups of finitely generated nilpotent groups and conjugacy classes in congruence quotients of Chevalley groups over rings of integers of local fields. We then state results on analytic properties of Euler products of such pp-adic integrals over all pp, and an application to counting conjugacy classes in congruence quotients of certain algebraic groups over the rationals. We then briefly discuss zeta functions arising from definable equivalence relations and pp-adic elimination of imginaries, which have applications to counting representations of groups.
