Functional Equations for Zeta Functions of Groups and Rings
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 equations for the subring zeta functions associated to rings, the subgroup, conjugacy and representation zeta functions of finitely generated, torsion-free ...
متن کاملZeta Functions of Groups and Rings – Recent Developments
I survey some recent developments in the theory of zeta functions associated to infinite groups and rings, specifically zeta functions enumerating subgroups and subrings of finite index or finite-dimensional complex representations. 1. About these notes Over the last few decades, zeta functions have become important tools in various areas of asymptotic group and ring theory. With the first pape...
متن کاملNormal Zeta Functions of the Heisenberg Groups over Number Rings Ii - the Non-split Case
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 groups of the form H(OK), where OK is the ring of integers of an arbitrary number field K, at the rational primes which are non-split in K. We show that these local z...
متن کاملRepresentation Zeta Functions of Some Nilpotent Groups Associated to Prehomogenous Vector Spaces
We compute the representation zeta functions of some finitely generated nilpotent groups associated to unipotent group schemes over rings of integers in number fields. These group schemes are defined by Lie lattices whose presentations are modelled on certain prehomogeneous vector spaces. Our method is based on evaluating p-adic integrals associated to certain rank varieties of linear forms.
متن کاملGeneralized Rings of Measurable and Continuous Functions
This paper is an attempt to generalize, simultaneously, the ring of real-valued continuous functions and the ring of real-valued measurable functions.
