Eisenstein-series identities for the rank-two and rank-three Witten zeta functions

Let nn be a positive integer, let fB(x)=(1+x)(1+2x)f_B(x)=(1+x)(1+2x) and fG(x)=(1+x)(1+2x)(1+3x)(2+3x)f_G(x)=(1+x)(1+2x)(1+3x)(2+3x), and let E2k(τ)E_{2k}(\tau) denote the Eisenstein series for τ\tau in the upper half-plane, with Ek(τ)=0E_k(\tau)=0 for odd k3k\geq 3. For a power series h(x)h(x), write [h(x)][xj][h(x)][x^j] for the coefficient of xjx^j in h(x)h(x). Eisenstein-series identity conjecture. For every positive integer nn, the following two equalities hold:

ζ(8n1)E8n+2(τ)3(1+214n)×[fB(x)2nlogfB(x)][x1+6n]=i=04n[fB(x)2n][xi]ζ(i2n)ζ(i6n)E2n+i+1(τ)E6ni+1(τ).\frac{\zeta(-8n-1)E_{8n+2}(\tau)}{3}(1+2^{-1-4n})\times [f_B(x)^{2n}\log f_B(x)][x^{1+6n}] =\sum_{i=0}^{4n}[f_B(x)^{2n}][x^i]\zeta(-i-2n)\zeta(i-6n)E_{2n+i+1}(\tau)E_{6n-i+1}(\tau). ζ(12n1)E12n+2(τ)5(1+316n)×[fG(x)2nlogfG(x)][x1+10n]=i=08n[fG(x)2n][xi]ζ(i2n)ζ(i10n)E2n+i+1(τ)E10ni+1(τ).\frac{\zeta(-12n-1)E_{12n+2}(\tau)}{5}(1+3^{-1-6n})\times [f_G(x)^{2n}\log f_G(x)][x^{1+10n}] =\sum_{i=0}^{8n}[f_G(x)^{2n}][x^i]\zeta(-i-2n)\zeta(i-10n)E_{2n+i+1}(\tau)E_{10n-i+1}(\tau).

These identities generalize the corresponding vanishing relations for the single-variable Witten zeta functions of types BB and GG; they have been checked computationally for n10n\leq 10, but no proof is provided here.
