Zeta functions of the 3-dimensional almost-Bieberbach groups

The subgroup zeta function and the normal zeta function of a finitely generated virtually nilpotent group can be expressed as finite sums of Dirichlet series admitting Euler product factorization. We compute these series except for a finite number of local factors when the group is virtually nilpotent of Hirsch length 3. We deduce that they can be meromorphically continued to the whole complex plane and that they satisfy local functional equations. The complete computation (with no exception of local factors) is presented for those groups that are also torsion-free, that is, for the 3-dimensional almost-Bieberbach groups.

IDEAL ZETA FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED TO A FAMILY OF CLASS-2-NILPOTENT LIE RINGS

We produce explicit formulae for various ideal zeta functions associated to the members of an infinite family of class-$2$-nilpotent Lie rings, introduced in M. N. Berman, B. Klopsch and U. Onn (A family of class-2 nilpotent groups, their automorphisms and pro-isomorphic zeta functions, Math. Z. 290 (2018), 909935), in terms of Igusa functions. As corollaries we obtain information about analytic properties of global ideal zeta functions, local functional equations, topological, reduced and graded ideal zeta functions, as well as representation zeta functions for the unipotent group schemes associated to the Lie rings in question.
