The Mahler measure of a polynomial $P$ in $n$ variables is defined as the mean of $\log|P|$ over the $n$-dimensional torus. For certain polynomials with integer coefficients in two variables the Mahler measure is known to be related to…

In this work, we are dealing with some properties relating the zeros of a polynomial and its Mahler measure. We provide estimates on the number of real zeros of a polynomial, lower bounds on the distance between the zeros of a polynomial…

For an algebraic number $\alpha$, the metric Mahler measure $m_1(\alpha)$ was first studied by Dubickas and Smyth in 2001 and was later generalized to the $t$-metric Mahler measure $m_t(\alpha)$ by the author in 2010. The definition of…

We prove a lower bound on the dimension of the set of maximal border subrank tensors. This is the first such bound of its type.

A survey of results for Mahler measure of algebraic numbers, and one-variable polynomials with integer coefficients is presented. Related results on the maximum modulus of the conjugates (`house') of an algebraic integer are also discussed.…

Recent work of Fili and the author examines an ultrametric version of the Mahler measure, denoted $M_\infty(\alpha)$ for an algebraic number $\alpha$. We show that the computation of $M_\infty(\alpha)$ can be reduced to a certain search…

We use symplectic techniques to obtain partial results on Mahler's conjecture about the product of the volume of a convex body and the volume of its polar. We confirm the conjecture for hyperplane sections or projections of $\ell_p$-balls…

Motivated by a famous question of Lehmer about the Mahler measure we study and solve its analytic analogue.

The theoretical and practical aspects of the fundamental, ultimate, physical limits to scaling, or Moore-s law, is presented.

We prove a new lower bound for the Mahler measure of a polynomial in one and in several variables that depends on the complex coefficients, and the number of monomials. In one variable our result generalizes a classical inequality of…

After Furstenberg had provided a first glimpse of remarkable rigidity phenomena associated with the joint action of several commuting automorphisms (or endomorphisms) of a compact abelian group, further key examples motivated the…

We consider the $k$-higher Mahler measure $m_k(P)$ of a Laurent polynomial $P$ as the integral of $\log ^k \left| P \right|$ over the complex unit circle. In this paper we derive an explicit formula for the value of $\left| m_k(P)…

This paper deals with a semi-classical limit (Theorem 1) by using traditional mathematical methods, and shows a Hopf theorem as a corollary. A formal discussion of it may be found in [7].

We solve a Lehmer-type question about the Mahler measure of integer-valued polynomials.

This paper presents the best known bounds for a conjecture of Gluck and a conjecture of Navarro.

We discuss Mahler's work on Diophantine approximation and its applications to Diophantine equations, in particular Thue-Mahler equations, S-unit equations and S-integral points on elliptic curves, and go into later developments concerning…

We give another proof of a result of Adamczewski and Bell concerning Mahler equations: A formal power series satisfying a $p-$ and a $q-$Mahler equation over ${\mathbb C}(x)$ with multiplicatively independent positive integers $p$ and $q$…

In this paper, we pose many challenging conjectures on congruences involving binomial coefficients and Ap\'ery-like numbers.

We consider a version of height on polynomial spaces defined by the integral over the normalized area measure on the unit disk. This natural analog of Mahler's measure arises in connection with extremal problems for Bergman spaces. It…
