Abstract

We consider a certain linear combination S(s,y;I;Δ)S(\mathbf{s},\mathbf{y};I;\Delta) of zeta-functions of root systems, where Δ\Delta is a root system of rank rr and I{1,2,,r}I\subset\{1,2,\ldots,r\}. Showing two different expressions of S(s,y;I;Δ)S(\mathbf{s},\mathbf{y};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=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=I=\emptyset essentially knows all information on generating functions for general II.
