In this paper, we explore the properties of zeta functions associated with infinite graphs of groups that arise as quotients of cuspidal tree-lattices, including all non-uniform arithmetic quotients of the tree of rank one Lie groups over…

Let $G$ be a group acting properly by isometries and with a strongly contracting element on a geodesic metric space. Let $N$ be an infinite normal subgroup of $G$, and let $\delta_N$ and $\delta_G$ be the growth rates of $N$ and $G$ with…

In this paper we study the zeta functions associated to the minimal spherical principal series of representations for a class of reductive p-adic symmetric spaces, which are realized as open orbits of some prehomogeneous spaces. These…

We amalgamate finite 2-nilpotent groups G of exponent p > 2, where G' is contained in a subgroup of the center, generated by n elements. We get Fraisse limits D(n) with superstable elementary theories of SU-rank 1. D(1) is Felgner's extra…

We study the growth of typical groups from the family of $p$-groups of intermediate growth constructed by the second author. We find that, in the sense of category, a generic group exhibits oscillating growth with no universal upper bound.…

Recently we introduced a new technique for computing the average free energy of a system with quenched randomness. The basic tool of this technique is a distributional zeta-function. The distributional zeta-function is a complex function…

In this article we relate word and subgroup growth to certain functions that arise in the quantification of residual finiteness. One consequence of this endeavor is a pair of results that equate the nilpotency of a finitely generated group…

A pair $(G,T)$ is called a faithful odd transposition group if $T$ is a normal set of involutions generating the group $G$ and the product of any two distinct elements of $T$ has odd order. We introduce a special subclass of such groups, a…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C} : |z|<1\}$, normalized by $f(0)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(0)=1$. For $-\pi/2<\alpha<\pi/2$, let $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}$ be the subclass of…

We present a simple argument to show that the beta-function of the d-dimensional KPZ-equation (d>=2) is to all orders in perturbation theory given by beta(g) = (d-2) g - 2/(8 pi)^(d/2) Gamma(2-d/2) g^2 . Neither the dynamical exponent z nor…

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.…

We introduce new non-abelian zeta functions for curves defined over finite fields. There are two types, i.e., pure non-abelian zetas defined using semi-stable bundles, and group zetas defined for pairs consisting of (reductive group,…

We introduce the notion of double cosets relative to two fusion subcategories of a fusion category. Given a tensor functor $F : \C \to \D$ between fusion categories, we introduce an equivalence relation $\approx^F$ on the set $\Lambda_\C$…

Let $T$ be an underlying space with a non-atomic measure $\sigma$ on it. In [{\it Comm.\ Math.\ Phys.}\ {\bf 292} (2009), 99--129] the Meixner class of non-commutative generalized stochastic processes with freely independent values,…

Given a finitely generated residually finite group $G$, the residual finiteness growth $\text{RF}_G: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ bounds the size of a finite group $Q$ needed to detect an element of norm at most $r$. More specifically, if…

Let $f_1,f_2$ be linearly independent solutions of $f''+Af=0$, where the coefficient $A$ is an analytic function in the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ of $\mathbb{C}$. It is shown that many properties of this differential equation can be…

Two and three point functions of composite operators are analysed with regard to (logarithmically) divergent contact terms. Using the renormalisation group of dimensional regularisation it is established that the divergences are governed by…

We prove that for any twist rigid compact $p$-adic analytic group $G$, its twist 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…

The local topological zeta function is a rational function associated to a germ of a complex holomorphic function. This function can be computed from an embedded resolution of singularities of the germ. For nondegenerate functions it is…

Using the Kirillov orbit method, novel methods from p-adic integration and Clifford theory, we study representation zeta functions associated to compact p-adic analytic groups. In particular, we give general estimates for the abscissae of…
