Zamolodchikov–Ravanini–Tateo–Valleriani periodicity and dilogarithm conjecture for Y-systems

About 2 years old · traced to

Let (X,X′)(X,X') be simply-laced Dynkin diagrams of finite type, with vertex sets II and I′I', ranks r,r′r,r', and Coxeter numbers h,h′h,h'. Let Ya,a′(u)∈R>0Y_{a,a'}(u)\in\mathbb{R}_{>0} for (a,a′)∈I×I′(a,a')\in I\times I' and u∈Zu\in\mathbb{Z} be any positive real solution of the YY-system of type (X,X′)(X,X'):

Ya,a′(u+1)Ya,a′(u−1)=∏b∈I: b∼a(1+Yb,a′(u))∏b′∈I′: b′∼a′(1+Ya,b′(u)−1).Y_{a,a'}(u+1)Y_{a,a'}(u-1)=\frac{\prod_{b\in I:\,b\sim a}(1+Y_{b,a'}(u))}{\prod_{b'\in I':\,b'\sim a'}(1+Y_{a,b'}(u)^{-1})}.

Zamolodchikov–Ravanini–Tateo–Valleriani conjecture. The solution is periodic with

Ya,a′(u+2(h+h′))=Ya,a′(u),Y_{a,a'}(u+2(h+h'))=Y_{a,a'}(u),

and satisfies the dilogarithm identity

∑u=02(h+h′)−1∑(a,a′)∈I×I′L~(Ya,a′(u))=2rr′hπ26.\sum_{u=0}^{2(h+h')-1}\sum_{(a,a')\in I\times I'}\tilde{L}(Y_{a,a'}(u))=2rr'h\frac{\pi^2}{6}.

These claims generalize the constant-system identities and were motivated by integrable mathematical-physics models. The supplied text says that both parts were later proved in full generality using cluster-algebra structures behind the YY-systems.
