Two-variable polynomials with dynamical Mahler measure zero

Number Theory 2022-04-19 v2 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

We discuss several aspects of the dynamical Mahler measure for multivariate polynomials. We prove a weak dynamical version of Boyd--Lawton formula and we characterize the polynomials with integer coefficients having dynamical Mahler measure zero both for the case of one variable (Kronecker's lemma) and for the case of two variables, under the assumption that the dynamical version of Lehmer's question is true.
