Abstract: Unlike an irreducible $Z$-matrices, a weakly irreducible $Z$-tensor $mathcalA$ can have more than one eigenvector associated with the least H-eigenvalue. We show that there are finitely many eigenvectors of $mathcalA$ associated with the least H-eigenvalue. If $mathcalA$ is further combinatorial symmetric, the number of such eigenvectors can be obtained explicitly by the Smith normal form of the incidence matrix of $mathcalA$. When applying to a connected uniform hypergraph $G$, we prove that the number of Laplacian eigenvectors of $G$ associated with the zero eigenvalue is equal to the the number of adjacency eigenvectors of $G$ associated with the spectral radius, which is also equal to the number of signless Laplacian eigenvectors of $G$ associated with the zero eigenvalue if zero is an signless Laplacian eigenvalue.
