Kirillov–Bazhanov–Reshetikhin dilogarithm identity for constant Y-systems

Let XX be a simply-laced connected Dynkin diagram of finite type with rank rr, Coxeter number h=h(X)h=h(X), and vertex set I=1,,r1I=1,\dots,r1. Let 2\ell\geq 2 and let ym(a)1R>0y_m^{(a)}1\in\mathbb{R}_{>0} for aIa\in I and m=1,,1m=1,\dots,\ell-1 be a positive real solution of the constant YY-system described in the source, with boundary values y0(a)1=y(a)1=0y_0^{(a)}{}^{-1}=y_\ell^{(a)}{}^{-1}=0. Here h=r+1h=r+1 for ArA_r, h=2r2h=2r-2 for DrD_r, and h=12,18,30h=12,18,30 for E6,E7,E8E_6,E_7,E_8, respectively. Kirillov–Bazhanov–Reshetikhin conjecture. For these values, one has

a=1rm=11L~(ym(a))=r(1)hh+π26.\sum_{a=1}^r\sum_{m=1}^{\ell-1}\tilde{L}(y_m^{(a)})=\frac{r(\ell-1)h}{h+\ell}\frac{\pi^2}{6}.

The identity arose from the thermodynamic analysis of restricted solid-on-solid models and predicts a uniform dilogarithm evaluation for all simply-laced finite Dynkin types and levels. The source presents it as a conjecture of Kirillov, Bazhanov, and Reshetikhin; its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
