Abstract

The hyper-Mahler measures mk(1+x1+x2),kZ>1m_k( 1+x_1+x_2),k\in\mathbb Z_{>1} and mk(1+x1+x2+x3),kZ>1m_k( 1+x_1+x_2+x_3),k\in\mathbb Z_{>1} are evaluated in closed form via Goncharov-Deligne periods, namely Q\mathbb Q-linear combinations of multiple polylogarithms at cyclotomic points (complex-valued coordinates that are roots of unity). Some infinite series related to these hyper-Mahler measures are also explicitly represented as Goncharov-Deligne periods of levels 11, 22, 3 3, 44, 66, 88, 1010 and 1212.
