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

Let (X,X)(X,X') be simply-laced Dynkin diagrams of finite type, with vertex sets II and II', ranks r,rr,r', and Coxeter numbers h,hh,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 uZu\in\mathbb{Z} be any positive real solution of the YY-system of type (X,X)(X,X'):

Ya,a(u+1)Ya,a(u1)=bI:ba(1+Yb,a(u))bI:ba(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×IL~(Ya,a(u))=2rrhπ26.\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.
