Abstract: 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 mathfrakp-adic integrals associated to certain rank varieties of matrices of linear forms.


Let \(G\) be a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group (or T-group). The representation zeta function of \(G\) is defined as the Dirichlet series \[ \zeta_G(s)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty \tilde{r}_n(G)n^{-s} \] where \(\tilde{r}_n(G)\) denotes the number of twist-isoclasses of complex \(n\)-dimensional irreducible representations of \(G\), \(s\) is a complex variable. If \(K\) is a number field with ring of integers \(\mathcal O\) and \(G\) is a unipotent group scheme over \(\mathcal O\), then \(G(\mathcal O)\) is a T-group and \(\zeta_{G(\mathcal O)}(s)\) has an Euler product indexed by the non-zero prime ideals of \(\mathcal O\). The authors compute the representation zeta functions for groups associated to unipotent group schemes defined by Lie lattices whose presentations are modeled on certain prehomogeneous vector spaces. The method is based on evaluating \(\mathfrak p\)-adic integrals associated to certain rank varieties of matrices of linear forms.
