We prove that the subgroup zeta function and the normal zeta function of a finitely generated virtually nilpotent group are finite sums of Euler products of cone integrals over Q and we deduce from this that they have rational abscissa of convergence and some meromorphic continuation. We also define Mal’cev completions of a finitely generated virtually nilpotent group and we prove that the subgroup growth and the normal subgroup growth of the latter are invariants of its Q-Mal’cev completion.

Zeta functions of the 3-dimensional almost-Bieberbach groups
Abstract 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…
A remark on the degree of polynomial subgroup growth of nilpotent groups
We show that if two finitely generated nilpotent groups have isomorphic C-Mal’cev completions, then their subgroup (resp. normal) zeta functions have the same abscissa of convergence. A similar…
Statistics of finite degree covers of torus knot complements
In the first part of this paper, we determine the asymptotic subgroup growth of the fundamental group of a torus knot complement. In the second part, we use this to study random finite degree covers…

Zeta Functions of Crystallographic Groups and Analytic Continuation
We prove that the zeta function and normal zeta function of a virtually abelian group have meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane. We do this by relating the functions to classical…
On finitely generated profinite groups, I: strong completeness and uniform bounds
We prove that in every finitely generated profinite group, every subgroup of finite index is open; this implies that the topology on such groups is determined by the algebraic structure. This is…
Finitely generated groups of polynomial subgroup growth
We determine the structure of finitely generated residually finite groups in which the number of subgroups of each finite indexn is bounded by a fixed power ofn.

Analytic properties of zeta functions and subgroup growth
It has become somewhat of a cottage industry over the last fifteen years to understand the rate of growth of the number of subgroups of finite index in a group G. Although the story began much…
