Abstract: We consider a certain linear combination S(mathbfs,mathbfy;I;Delta) of zeta-functions of root systems, where Delta is a root system of rank r and Isubset1,2,ldots,r. Showing two different expressions of S(mathbfs,mathbfy;I;Delta), we find that a certain signed sum of zeta-functions of root systems is equal to a sum involving Bernoulli functions of root systems. This identity gives a non-trivial functional relation among zeta-functions of root systems, if the signed sum does not identically vanish. This is a genralization of the authors' previous result proved in cite{KMTLondon}, in the case when I=emptyset. We present several explicit examples of such functional relations. A criterion of the non-vanishing of the signed sum, in terms of Poincar{'e} polynomials of associated Weyl groups, is given. Moreover we prove a certain converse theorem, which implies that the generating function for the case I=emptyset essentially knows all information on generating functions for general I.


In the paper, the authors study linear combination of zeta-functions of root systems for a root system under condition that the sum does not vanishes identically (as well they give a criteria for the non-vanishing of such sum), and show that this sum is a certain sum involving Bernoulli functions of root systems. Note that this identity gives a non-trivial functional relation between zeta-functions of a root system. As well, the authors give few examples of particular cases. The result by the authors obtained is a generalization of their previous work [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 100, No. 2, 303--347 (2010; Zbl 1217.11078)].
