Abstract
We show that the integral , can be expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions. The integral arises in the solution by Baxter and Bazhanov of the free-energy of the Potts model, which includes the term . Our result immediately gives the logarithmic Mahler measure of the Laurent polynomial in terms of the same hypergeometric functions.
