A Universal Leading-Residue Formula for Witten Zeta Functions

For an irreducible crystallographic root system of rank $r$ with Coxeter number $h$, the paper proves that Au's normalized Witten zeta function has a simple pole at $2/h$ and evaluates its residue in closed form in terms of the Cartan determinant, the Weyl group order and the invariant degrees.
