Abstract
- Let $\mathfrak{O}$ be a compact discrete valuation ring of characteristic zero. Given a module $M$ of matrices over $\mathfrak{O}$, we study the generating function encoding the average sizes of the kernels of the elements of $M$ over finite quotients of $\mathfrak{O}$. We prove rationality and establish fundamental properties of these generating functions and determine them explicitly for various natural families of modules $M$. Using $p$-adic Lie theory, we then show that special cases of these generating functions enumerate orbits and conjugacy classes of suitable linear pro-$p$ groups.<br />Comment: 50 pages; expanded version
