Optimality conjecture for vanishing orders of Witten zeta functions
Optimality conjecture for vanishing orders of Witten zeta functions
Let be a compact simply connected Lie group identified with its root system , and write . For negative even integers, the theorem states
For negative odd integers, it states
Optimality conjecture. In the theorem, all stated inequalities for orders of vanishing are actually equalities. The theorem establishes the displayed lower bounds for compact simply connected Lie groups; the conjecture asserts that none of these bounds can be improved.
