Abstract: Let G be a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group. The representation zeta function zetaG(s) of G enumerates twist isoclasses of finite-dimensional irreducible complex representations of G. We prove that zetaG(s) has rational abscissa of convergence a(G) and may be meromorphically continued to the left of a(G) and that, on the line sinmathbbCmidextrmRe(s)=a(G), the continued function is holomorphic except for a pole at s=a(G). A Tauberian theorem yields a precise asymptotic result on the representation growth of G in terms of the position and order of this pole. We obtain these results as a consequence of a more general result establishing uniform analytic properties of representation zeta functions of finitely generated nilpotent groups of the form mathbfG(mathcalO), where mathbfG is a unipotent group scheme defined in terms of a nilpotent Lie lattice over the ring mathcalO of integers of a number field. This allows us to show, in particular, that the abscissae of convergence of the representation zeta functions of such groups and their pole orders are invariants of mathbfG, independent of mathcalO.
