Bazhanov–Kirillov–Reshetikhin dilogarithm identity for simply laced Y-systems

Let XrX_r be a simply laced Dynkin diagram of finite type with rank rr and index set II, and let ellageq2ell a geq 2 be an integer. Let L(x)L(x) be the Rogers dilogarithm function. For positive real numbers Ym(a)Y^{(a)}_m, with aiIa i I and 1imi11 i m i \ell-1, assume

(Ym(a))2=b:ba(1+Ym(b))(1+Ym1(a)1)(1+Ym+1(a)1),(Y^{(a)}_m)^2=\frac{\displaystyle\prod_{b:b\sim a}(1+Y^{(b)}_m)}{(1+Y^{(a)}_{m-1}{}^{-1})(1+Y^{(a)}_{m+1}{}^{-1})},

where bab\sim a means adjacency in XrX_r and Y0(a)1=Y(a)1=0Y^{(a)}_0{}^{-1}=Y^{(a)}_\ell{}^{-1}=0 when they occur. Dilogarithm identities. One has

6π2aIm=11L(Ym(a)1+Ym(a))=dimgh+r,\frac{6}{\pi^2}\sum_{a\in I}\sum_{m=1}^{\ell-1}L\left(\frac{Y^{(a)}_m}{1+Y^{(a)}_m}\right)=\frac{\ell\dim\mathfrak{g}}{h+\ell}-r,

where hh and g\mathfrak{g} are respectively the Coxeter number and the simple Lie algebra of type XrX_r. The identity expresses the central charge of the corresponding simply laced conformal field theory in terms of the Rogers dilogarithm. The source describes this family of identities as conjectured by Bazhanov, Kirillov, and Reshetikhin and says they had been partly proved; the paper proves them in full generality.
