Abstract
We study the ODE/IM correspondence for ODE associated to \({\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}}\)-valued connections, for a simply-laced Lie algebra \({\mathfrak{g}}\). We prove that subdominant solutions to the ODE defined in different fundamental representations satisfy a set of quadratic equations called \({\Psi}\)-system. This allows us to show that the generalized spectral determinants satisfy the Bethe Ansatz equations.
