Computing local zeta functions of groups, algebras, and modules

Abstract

We develop a practical method for computing local zeta functions of groups, algebras, and modules in fortunate cases. Using our method, we obtain a complete classification of generic local representation zeta functions associated with unipotent algebraic groups of dimension at most six. We also determine the generic local subalgebra zeta functions associated with ${\mathfrak{gl}}_2(\mathbf{Q})$. Finally, we introduce and compute examples of graded subobject zeta functions.
