Abstract: We study the representation growth of simple compact Lie groups and of mathrmSLn(mathcalO), where mathcalO is a compact discrete valuation ring, as well as the twist representation growth of mathrmGLn(mathcalO). This amounts to a study of the abscissae of convergence of the corresponding (twist) representation zeta functions. We determine the abscissae for a class of Mellin zeta functions which include the Witten zeta functions. As a special case, we obtain a new proof of the theorem of Larsen and Lubotzky that the abscissa of Witten zeta functions is r/kappa, where r is the rank and kappa the number of positive roots. We then show that the twist zeta function of mathrmGLn(mathcalO) exists and has the same abscissa of convergence as the zeta function of mathrmSLn(mathcalO), provided n does not divide extchar,mathcalO. We compute the twist zeta function of mathrmGL2(mathcalO) when the residue characteristic p of mathcalO is odd, and approximate the zeta function when p=2 to deduce that the abscissa is 1. Finally, we construct a large part of the representations of mathrmSL2(mathbbFq[[t]]), q even, and deduce that its abscissa lies in the interval [1,,5/2].
