Let $N$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group. The subgroup zeta function $\zeta_N^{\leq}(s)$ and the normal zeta function $\zeta_N^\lhd(s)$ of $N$ are Dirichlet series enumerating the finite index subgroups or the finite index normal…
We investigate the properties of the zeta-function of well-rounded sublattices of a fixed arithmetic lattice in the plane. In particular, we show that this function has abscissa of convergence at $s=1$ with a real pole of order 2, improving…
In this paper we introduce some new methods to understand the analytic behaviour of the zeta function of a group. We can then combine this knowledge with suitable Tauberian theorems to deduce results about the growth of subgroups in a…
The growth rate function $r_N$ counts the number of irreducible representations of simple complex Lie groups of dimension $N$. While no explicit formula is known for this function, previous works have found bounds for $R_N=\sum_{i=1}^Nr_i$.…
We investigate the rate of growth of the function of n which counts the number of complex irreducible representations of a fixed group of degree less than or equal to n. The emphasis is on linear groups, especially compact real and p-adic…
We compute explicit formulae for Dirichlet generating functions enumerating finite-dimensional irreducible complex representations of potent and saturable principal congruence subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}_4^m(\mathfrak{o})$ ($m\in\mathbb{N}$)…
This paper gives methods to describe the adjoint orbits of $\mathbf{G}(\mathfrak{o}_r)$ on $\mathrm{Lie}(\mathbf{G})(\mathfrak{o}_r)$ where $\mathfrak{o}_r=\mathfrak{o}/\mathfrak{p}^r$ ($r\in\mathbb{N}$) is a finite quotient of the…
We prove that for any FAb compact $p$-adic analytic group $G$, its representation zeta function is a finite sum of terms $n_{i}^{-s}f_{i}(p^{-s})$, where $n_{i}$ are natural numbers and $f_{i}(t)\in\mathbb{Q}(t)$ are rational functions.…
We study the representation growth of alternating and symmetric groups in positive characteristic and restricted representation growth for the finite groups of Lie type. We show that the the number of representations of dimension at most n…
The main results in this thesis deal with the representation growth of certain classes of groups. In chapter $1$ we present the required preliminary theory. In chapter $2$ we introduce the Congruence Subgroup Problem for an algebraic group…
We study analytic properties of the representation zeta functions of arithmetic groups of type $\mathsf{A}_2$, such as $\textrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$. In particular, we uncover further poles of these functions and determine a natural boundary…
Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a unipotent group scheme defined in terms of a nilpotent Lie lattice over the ring $\mathcal{O}$ of integers of a number field. We consider bivariate zeta functions of groups of the form $\mathbf{G}(\mathcal{O})$…
This paper is a sequel to "Representation growth of maximal class groups: non-exceptional primes". We use a constructive method to calculate some exceptional cases of $p$-local representation zeta functions of a family of finitely generated…
Let G by compact p-adic Lie group and suppose that G is FAb, i.e., that H/[H,H] is finite for every open subgroup H of G. The representation zeta function Z(G,s) encodes the distribution of continuous irreducible complex characters of G.…
Several classes of irreducible orthogonal representations of compact Lie groups that are of importance in Differential Geometry have the property that the second osculating spaces of all of their nontrivial orbits coincide with the…
We define zeta-functions of weight lattices of compact connected semisimple Lie groups. If the group is simply-connected, these zeta-functions coincide with ordinary zeta-functions of root systems of associated Lie algebras. In this paper…
Let $L$ be a nilpotent algebra of class two over a compact discrete valuation ring $A$ of characteristic zero or of sufficiently large positive characteristic. Let $q$ be the residue cardinality of $A$. The ideal zeta function of $L$ is a…
We define two types of Witten's zeta functions according to Cartan's classification of compact symmetric spaces. The type II is the original Witten zeta function constructed by means of irreducible representations of the simple compact Lie…
Here we show that the Weil abscissa of the procyclic groups $\prod_{p \in S} \mathbb{Z}_p$ equals $2$ for three sets $S$: (i) the set of primes $p \equiv 1 \bmod 3$, (ii) the set of primes $p \equiv 1 \bmod 4$ and (iii) the set of primes $p…
The transformation behaviour of the vector valued theta function of a positive-definite even lattice under the metaplectic group $\mathrm{Mp}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ is described by the Weil representation. We show that the invariants of this…
