We introduce new methods from p-adic integration into the study of
representation zeta functions associated to compact p-adic analytic groups and
arithmetic groups. They allow us to establish that the representation zeta
functions of generic members of families of p-adic analytic pro-p groups
obtained from a global, `perfect' Lie lattice satisfy functional equations.
We study new asymptotic invariant of a pair consisting of a group and a
subgroup, which we call Commensurizer Growth. We compute the commensurizer
growth for several examples, concentrating mainly on the case of a locally
compact topological group and a lattice inside it.
Extending results of Kazhdan to the relative case, we relate harmonic
analysis over some spherical spaces G(F)/H(F), where F is a field of positive
characteristic, to harmonic analysis over the spherical spaces G(E)/H(E), where
E is a suitably chosen field of characteristic 0. One of the Ingredients of the
proof is a condition for finite generation of some modules over the Hecke
algebra.
