Periodicities of T-systems and Y-systems, dilogarithm identities, and cluster algebras. I: Type \(B_r\) (Q1946986): Difference between revisions

In the paper under review, the authors prove the periodicities of the restricted T-systems and Y-systems associated with the quantum affine algebra of type \(B_r\) at any level. They also prove the dilogarithm identities for the Y-systems of type \(B_r\) at any level. Their proof is based on the tropical Y-systems and the categorification of the cluster algebra associated with any skew-symmetric matrix by \textit{P.-G. Plamondon} [Adv. Math. 227, No. 1, 1--39 (2011; Zbl 1288.13016)]. Using this new method, they also give an alternative and simplified proof of the periodicities of the T-systems and Y-systems associated with pairs of simply laced Dynkin diagrams.
