Zamolodchikov periodicity conjecture for Dynkin Y-systems

About 18 years old · traced to

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

Yi,i′,t−1Yi,i′,t+1=∏j∈I(1+Yj,i′,t)aij∏j′∈I′(1+Yi,j′,t−1)ai′j′′.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.
