We compute the zeta functions enumerating graded ideals in the graded Lie rings associated with the free $d$-generator Lie rings $\mathfrak{f}_{c,d}$ of nilpotency class $c$ for all $c\leq2$ and for $(c,d)\in\{(3,3),(3,2),(4,2)\}$. We apply…
Building on our previous work (arXiv:1405.5711), we develop the first practical algorithm for computing topological zeta functions of nilpotent groups, non-associative algebras, and modules. While we previously depended upon non-degeneracy…
We study representation zeta functions of finitely generated, torsion-free nilpotent groups which are rational points of unipotent group schemes over rings of integers of number fields. Using the Kirillov orbit method and p-adic…
We introduce a new method to compute explicit formulae for various zeta functions associated to groups and rings. The specific form of these formulae enables us to deduce local functional equations. More precisely, we prove local functional…
In this paper we compute the subgroup zeta functions of nilpotent semi-direct products of groups of the form $$G_n=<x_1,...,x_n,y_1,...,y_{n-1}|[x_i,x_n]=y_i, 1\leq i\leq n-1, \text{all other $[,]$ trivial}>$$ and deduce local functional…
A maximal abelian normal subgroup A in a nilpotent group N is self-centralizing. This makes their role an important one in determining the structure of the nilpotent group. For example if A is finite then N is also finite. In the free…
We give a subexponential upper bound and a superpolynomial lower bound on the growth function of the Fabrykowski-Gupta group. As a consequence, we answer negatively a question by Longobardi, Maj and Rhemtulla about characterizing groups…
We develop a practical method for computing local zeta functions of groups, algebras, and modules in fortunate cases. Using our method, we obtain a complete classification of generic local representation zeta functions associated with…
We develop techniques for computing zeta functions associated with nilpotent groups, not necessarily associative algebras, and modules, as well as Igusa-type zeta functions. At the heart of our method lies an explicit convex-geometric…
Various types of local zeta functions studied in asymptotic group theory admit two natural operations: (1) change the prime and (2) perform local base extensions. Often, the effects of both of these operations can be expressed…
We study zeta functions enumerating submodules invariant under a given endomorphism of a finitely generated module over the ring of ($S$-)integers of a number field. In particular, we compute explicit formulae involving Dedekind zeta…
In this paper, the author (1) compares subnormal closures of finite sets in free groups; (2) proves that the exponential growth rate (e.g.r.), i.e., the limit of the n-th roots of g(n), where g(n) is the growth function of a subgroup H with…
We show that there exists a finitely generated group of growth ~f for all functions f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} satisfying f(2R) \leq f(R)^{2} \leq f(\eta R) for all R large enough and \eta\approx2.4675 the positive root of…
The pro-isomorphic zeta function of a torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent group G enumerates finite index subgroups H such that H and G have isomorphic profinite completions. It admits an Euler product decomposition, indexed by the…
We produce explicit formulae for various ideal zeta functions associated to the members of an infinite family of class-$2$-nilpotent Lie rings, introduced in [1], in terms of Igusa functions. As corollaries we obtain information about…
In this note we introduce zeta functions and L-functions for discrete and faithful representations of surface groups in PSL(d, R), for d >= 3. These are natural generalizations of the wellknown classical Selberg zeta function and L-function…
We compute the numbers g(n,2,2) of nilpotent groups of order n, of class at most 2 generated by at most 2 generators, by giving an explicit formula for the Dirichlet generating function \sum_{n=1}^\infty g(n,2,2)n^{-s}.
We prove a dichotomy between rationality and a natural boundary for the analytic behavior of the Reidemeister zeta function for automorphisms of non-finitely generated torsion abelian groups and for endomorphisms of groups $\mathbb Z_p^d,$…
Let $\Gamma$ be a group and $r_n(\Gamma)$ the number of its $n$-dimensional irreducible complex representations. We define and study the associated representation zeta function $\calz_\Gamma(s) = \suml^\infty_{n=1} r_n(\Gamma)n^{-s}$. When…
We compute explicitly the normal zeta functions of the Heisenberg groups $H(R)$, where $R$ is a compact discrete valuation ring of characteristic zero. These zeta functions occur as Euler factors of normal zeta functions of Heisenberg…
