Abstract: Let G be a profinite group. A strongly admissible smooth representation ho of G over mathbbC decomposes as a direct sum of irreducible representations with finite multiplicities mpi(ho) such that for every positive integer n the number rn(ho) of irreducible constituents of dimension n is finite. Examples arise naturally in the representation theory of reductive groups over non-archimedean local fields. In this article we initiate an investigation of the Dirichlet generating function [ zeta_ ho (s) = sum_{n=1}^infty r_n( ho) n^{-s} = sum_{pi in mathrm{Irr}(G)} frac{m_pi( ho)}{(dim pi)^s} ] associated to such a representation ho. Our primary focus is on representations ho=mathrmIndHG(sigma) of compact p-adic Lie groups G that arise from finite dimensional representations sigma of closed subgroups H via the induction functor. In addition to a series of foundational results - including a description in terms of p-adic integrals - we establish rationality results and functional equations for zeta functions of globally defined families of induced representations of potent pro-p groups. A key ingredient of our proof is Hironaka's resolution of singularities, which yields formulae of Denef-type for the relevant zeta functions. In some detail, we consider representations of open compact subgroups of reductive p-adic groups that are induced from parabolic subgroups. Explicit computations are carried out by means of complementing techniques: (i) geometric methods that are applicable via distance-transitive actions on spherically homogeneous rooted trees and (ii) the p-adic Kirillov orbit method. Approach (i) is closely related to the notion of Gelfand pairs and works equally well in positive defining characteristic.
