Abstract
We compute the representation zeta functions of some finitely
generated nilpotent groups associated to unipotent group schemes
over rings of integers in number fields. These group schemes are
defined by Lie lattices whose presentations are modelled on certain
prehomogeneous vector spaces. Our method is based on evaluating
