Abstract: We define the rank-metric zeta function of a code as a generating function of its normalized $q$-binomial moments. We show that, as in the Hamming case, the zeta function gives a generating function for the weight enumerators of rank-metric codes. We further prove a functional equation and derive an upper bound for the minimum distance in terms of the reciprocal roots of the zeta function. Finally, we show invariance under suitable puncturing and shortening operators and study the distribution of zeroes of the zeta function for a family of codes.
