Zamolodchikov periodicity conjecture for Dynkin Y-systems

Let Δ\Delta and Δ\Delta' be Dynkin diagrams with vertex sets II and II', incidence matrices A=(aij)A=(a_{ij}) and A=(aij)A'=(a'_{i'j'}), and Coxeter numbers hh and hh'. For variables Yi,i,tY_{i,i',t}, where (i,i)I×I(i,i')\in I\times I' and tZt\in\mathbb{Z}, the YY-system associated with (Δ,Δ)(\Delta,\Delta') is

Yi,i,t1Yi,i,t+1=jI(1+Yj,i,t)aijjI(1+Yi,j,t1)aij.Y_{i,i',t-1}Y_{i,i',t+1}=\frac{\prod_{j\in I}(1+Y_{j,i',t})^{a_{ij}}}{\prod_{j'\in I'}(1+Y_{i,j',t}^{-1})^{a'_{i'j'}}}.

Zamolodchikov periodicity conjecture. Every solution of this system is periodic in tt, with period dividing 2(h+h)2(h+h'). The periodicity conjecture is a central structural statement for YY-systems associated with Dynkin diagrams. The supplied source does not state whether the claim is open or resolved.
