Solomon zeta functions over arithmetic orders

We prove an effective version of Solomon's first conjecture for lattices over orders in finite-dimensional semisimple algebras over nonarchimedean local fields. We express the quotient of a partial Solomon zeta function by the corresponding maximal-order zeta function as a finite sum whose terms are determined by finite module-theoretic data and weighted by polynomials defined using the M\"obius function of finite submodule posets. The resulting expression is independent of the chosen maximal overorder. Our proof is purely algebraic and is first formulated for the refined Bushnell--Reiner zeta functions. As an application, we obtain explicit formulas for the Solomon zeta functions of all lattices over $\mathbb{Z}_p[\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}]$, including non-projective lattices.

Bushnell-Reiner zeta functions over two-dimensional semilocal rings

Lustig gave an infinite product formula for the zeta function of a commutative two-dimensional regular local ring with finite residue field. We extend this to the noncommutative setting with a method based on filtration by an invertible ideal. One application gives an abstract two-dimensional analogue of Hey's formula. Another application provides effective formulae for zeta functions over Rump's two-dimensional regular semiperfect rings. In the appendices, we supplement these two-dimensional applications with requisite one-dimensional calculations.

Large sieve inequalities with power moduli and Waring's problem

We improve the large sieve inequality with $k$th-power moduli, for all $k\ge 4$. Our method relates these inequalities to a restricted variant of Waring's problem. Firstly, we input a classical divisor bound on the number of representations of a positive integer as a sum of two $k$th-powers. Secondly, we input a recent and general result of Wooley on mean values of exponential sums. Lastly, we state a conditional result, based on the conjectural Hardy-Littlewood formula for the number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of $k+1$ $k$th-powers.
