Univariate and bivariate zeta functions of unipotent group schemes of type $G$

Abstract

We compute the representation and class counting zeta functions for a family of torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent groups of nilpotency class $2$. These groups arise from a generalisation of one the families of unipotent groups schemes treated by Stasinski and Voll, and Lins. The univariate zeta functions are obtained by specialising the respective bivariate zeta functions defined by Lins. These are also used to deduce a formula for a joint distribution on Weyl groups of type $B$.
