Dirichlet series for finite combinatorial rank dynamics

Abstract

We introduce a class of group endomorphisms -- those of finite combinatorial rank -- exhibiting slow orbit growth. An associated Dirichlet series is used to obtain an exact orbit counting formula, and in the connected case this series is shown to have a closed rational form. Analytic properties of the Dirichlet series are related to orbit-growth asymptotics: depending on the location of the abscissa of convergence and the degree of the pole there, various orbit-growth asymptotics are found, all of which are polynomially bounded.
