The average size of the kernel of a matrix and orbits of linear groups. II: Duality (Q2332143)

In the paper under review, the author introduces a module representation as a linear parameterization of a collection of module homomorphisms over a ring. He defines duality functors indexed by the elements of the symmetric group of degree three between categories of module representations. Then, he shows that these functors have tame effects on the average sizes of kernels. This provides a general framework for and a generalization of duality phenomena previously observed in the work of \textit{E. A. O'Brien} and \textit{C. Voll} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 367, No. 11, 7775--7796 (2015; Zbl 1382.20010)] and in the predecessor of the present article [the author, Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 117, No. 3, 574--616 (2018; Zbl 1440.05028)]. Some applications to class numbers and conjugacy class zeta functions of \(p\)-groups and unipotent group schemes, respectively, are discussed.
