Second-pole wall periods for Witten zeta functions in the classical families
Abstract
Let Phi be an irreducible reduced crystallographic root system of rank r, and let N be the number of positive coroots. A previous theorem (arXiv:2608.16363, Theorem 3.3) identifies the first pole below 2/h as q_2 = (r-1)/(N-1) and expresses its residue as a sum of periods attached to the simple walls of the dominant chamber. We evaluate that wall-period sum for all four classical families. The identity q_2 (N-1) = r-1 removes the radial variable from every wall integral. The resulting projective integrals reduce to mixed Dotsenko-Fateev chambers in type A_r, to those chambers together with a Selberg endpoint in types B_r and C_r, and to a single chamber family in type D_r. The chamber recurrences give explicit sine weights in types A, B, and C. In type D, a terminating basic-hypergeometric sum at a root of unity reduces to a finite cyclotomic product. We also show that the corresponding exceptional wall restrictions are not reflection arrangements, so this particular reduction does not extend directly to the exceptional types.
