We continue the analysis of higher and multiple Mahler measures using log-sine integrals as started in "Log-sine evaluations of Mahler measures" and "Special values of generalized log-sine integrals" by two of the authors. This motivates a…

Let $\chi_{-f}$ be the odd quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor $f$, and let $\mathrm{m}(P)$ denote the Mahler measure of a polynomial $P$. In 1984, Chinburg conjectured that for any such $\chi_{-f}$ there exist an integral bivariate…

The hyper-Mahler measures $m_k( 1+x_1+x_2),k\in\mathbb Z_{>1}$ and $m_k( 1+x_1+x_2+x_3),k\in\mathbb Z_{>1}$ are evaluated in closed form via Goncharov-Deligne periods, namely $\mathbb Q$-linear combinations of multiple polylogarithms at…

In this paper we prove the algebraicity of some L-values attached to quaternionic modular forms. We follow the rather well established path of the doubling method. Our main contribution is that we include the case where the corresponding…

The Mahler measure of a nonzero $n$-variable polynomial $P$ is the integral of $\log|P|$ on the unit $n$-torus. A result of Boyd and Lawton says that the Mahler measure of a multivariate polynomial is the limit of Mahler measures of…

The Mahler measure of a monic polynomial $P(x) = a_dx^d + a_{d-1}x^{d-1} + \dots + a_1x + a_0$ is defined as $M(P) := |a_d| \prod_{P(\alpha)=0} \max\{1, |\alpha|\}$, where the product runs over all roots of $P$. Lehmer's problem asks…

We prove that sparse resultants having Mahler measure equal to zero are those whose Newton polytope has dimension one. We then compute the Mahler measure of resultants in dimension two, and examples in dimension three and four. Finally, we…

We establish an isomorphism between certain complex-valued and vector-valued modular form spaces of half-integral weight, generalizing the well-known isomorphism between modular forms for $\Gamma_0(4)$ with Kohnen's plus condition and…

We exhibit a change of variables that maintains the Mahler measure of a given polynomial. This method leads to the construction of highly non-trivial polynomials with given Mahler measure and settles some conjectural numerical formulas due…

We discuss some (conjectural) evaluations of $L$-values attached to elliptic curves of conductors 15, 21, 24 and 32 as "hypergeometric periods". These numerical observations are motivated by the Mahler measures of three-variable…

We provide evaluations of several recently studied higher and multiple Mahler measures using log-sine integrals. This is complemented with an analysis of generating functions and identities for log-sine integrals which allows the…

We study the Mahler measures of the polynomial family $Q_k(x,y) = x^3+y^3+1-kxy$ using the method previously developed by the authors. An algorithm is implemented to search for CM points with class numbers $\leqslant 3$, we employ these…

We establish a functional identity for Mahler measures of the two-parametric family $P_{a,c}(x,y)=a(x+1/x)+y+1/y+c$. Our result extends an identity proven in a paper of Lal\'{i}n, Zudilin and Samart. As a by-product, we obtain evaluations…

In this paper, we study the Laurent coefficients of meromorphic modular forms at CM points by giving two approaches of computing them. The first is a generalization of the method of Rodriguez-Villegas and Zagier, which expresses the Laurent…

This paper is based on the observation that dimension of weight spaces of multi-variable Weyl modules depends polynomially on the highest weight (Conjecture 1). We support this conjecture by various explicit answers for up to three variable…

Littlewood polynomials are polynomials with each of their coefficients in {-1,1}. A sequence of Littlewood polynomials that satisfies a remarkable flatness property on the unit circle of the complex plane is given by the Rudin-Shapiro…

A famous formula of Rodriguez Villegas shows that the Mahler measures $m(k)$ of $P_k(x,y)=x+1/x+y+1/y+k$ can be written as a Kronecker-Eisenstein series. We prove that the degree of $k$ in Villegas' formula can be bounded by the class…

Let $M(\alpha)$ denote the Mahler measure of the algebraic number $\alpha$. In a recent paper, Dubickas and Smyth constructed a metric version of the Mahler measure on the multiplicative group of algebraic numbers. Later, Fili and the…

In this paper we will establish functional equations for Mahler measures of families of genus-one two-variable polynomials. These families were previously studied by Beauville, and their Mahler measures were considered by Boyd,…
