Zeta functions of integral nilpotent quiver representations

Abstract

We introduce and study multivariate zeta functions enumerating subrepresentations of integral quiver representations. For nilpotent such representations defined over number fields, we exhibit a homogeneity condition that we prove to be sufficient for local functional equations of the generic Euler factors of these zeta functions. This generalizes and unifies previous work on submodule zeta functions including, specifically, ideal zeta functions of nilpotent (Lie) rings and their graded analogues.
