Degree and leading-term conjecture for normal zeta functions of nilpotent Lie rings

About 17 years old · traced to

Let LL be a class-cc-nilpotent Lie ring of rank nn, with upper central series (Zi(L))i=0c(Z_i(L))_{i=0}^c. Set ni:=rk⁡(L/Zi(L))n_i:=\operatorname{rk}(L/Z_i(L)), so that n0=n=rk⁡(L)n_0=n=\operatorname{rk}(L). Let ζL,p◃(s)\zeta^{\triangleleft}_{L,p}(s) denote the local normal-subring zeta function. Degree and leading-term conjecture. For almost all primes pp,

deg⁡p−s(ζL,p◃(s))=−∑i=0cni,\operatorname{deg}_{p^{-s}}(\zeta^{\triangleleft}_{L,p}(s))=-\sum_{i=0}^{c}n_i, lim⁡s→−∞(p−s)∑i=1cniζL,p◃(s)=(−1)np(n2).\lim_{s\rightarrow -\infty}(p^{-s})^{\sum_{i=1}^{c}n_i}\zeta^{\triangleleft}_{L,p}(s)=(-1)^np^{\binom{n}{2}}.

The assertions follow from the relevant functional equation whenever that equation holds; in particular, the conjecture is known for nilpotency class at most 22. For higher classes the functional equation can fail, although all known examples still satisfy the two displayed assertions.
