Transition rates, oscillator strengths and line strengths are calculated for electric-dipole (E1) transitions between even-parity 4s 2 , 4p 2 , 4s4d, 4d 2 , 4p4f and 4f 2 states and odd-parity 4s4p, 4s4f, 4p4d and 4d4f states in Zn-like ions with the nuclear charges ranging from Z = 32 to 100. Relativistic many-body perturbation theory (RMBPT), including the Breit interaction, is used to evaluate retarded E1 matrix elements in length and velocity forms. The calculations start from a 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 10 Dirac-Fock potential. First-order RMBPT is used to obtain intermediate coupling coefficients and second-order RMBPT is used to calculate transition matrix elements. Contributions from negative-energy states are included in the second-order E1 matrix elements to ensure the gauge independence of transition amplitudes. Transition energies used in the calculation of oscillator strengths and transition rates are from second-order RMBPT. Ground state scalar α 0 (4s 2 1 S 0) polarizabilities are calculated for Zn-like ions from Z = 33 to 100. To evaluate the α 0 (4s 2 1 S 0) polarizabilities, we calculate RMBPT energies for the odd-parity 4l5l complex with J = 1 and line strengths between the even-parity 4l4l complex with J = 0 and the odd-parity 4l5l , 4l6l complexes with J = 1.
