We introduce the quaternionic Mahler measure for non-commutative polynomials, extending the classical complex Mahler measure. We establish the existence of quaternionic Mahler measure for slice regular polynomials in one and two variables.…

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)…

We construct $p$-adic multiple $L$-functions in several variables, which are generalizations of the classical Kubota-Leopoldt $p$-adic $L$-functions, by using a specific $p$-adic measure. Our construction is from the $p$-adic analytic side…

The Mahler measure of the polynomials $t(x^m-1) y - (x^n-1) \in \dC[x,y]$ is essentially the sum of volumes of a certain collection of ideal hyperbolic polyhedra in $\HH^3$, which can be determined a priori as a function on the parameter…

The purpose of this paper is to study the special values of the standard $L$-functions for quaternionic modular forms using the doubling method. We obtain an integral representation for the $L$-function twisted by a character and construct…

Following the work of Lal\'in and Mittal on the Mahler measure over arbitrary tori, we investigate the definition of the generalized Mahler measure for all Laurent polynomials in two variables when they do not vanish on the integration…

In 2006, Fukaya and Kato formulated a general conjecture about $p$-adic $L$-functions for a large class of motives and derived a precise conjectural interpolation formula from the ETNC. We study this conjectural $p$-adic $L$-function in the…

In this paper we prove that the Mahler measures of the Laurent polynomials $(x+x^{-1})(y+y^{-1})(z+z^{-1})+k$, $(x+x^{-1})^2(y+y^{-1})^2(1+z)^3z^{-2}-k$, and $x^4+y^4+z^4+1+k^{1/4}xyz$, for various values of $k$, are of the form $r_1…

This article investigates the Mahler measure of a family of 2-variate polynomials, denoted by $P_d, d\geq 1$, unbounded in both degree and genus. By using a closed formula for the Mahler measure introduced in "Volume function and Mahler…

The classical Boyd-Lawton theorem concerning Mahler measures has recently been extended to multivariable limits by Brunault, Guilloux, Mehrabdollahei, and Pengo. In another direction, the single-variable Boyd-Lawton theorem has been…

We study the Mahler measures of certain families of Laurent polynomials in two and three variables. Each of the known Mahler measure formulas for these families involves $L$-values of at most one newform and/or at most one quadratic…

Using periodic points we study a notion of entropy with values in the p-adic numbers. This is done for actions of countable discrete residually finite groups $\Gamma$. For suitable $\Gamma = \mathbb{Z}^d$-actions we obtain p-adic analogues…

Motivated by a geometric meaning of Mahler's measure, we introduce two operator analogues of Mahler's measure. This leads to some interesting equalities and inequalities between the two operator-theoretic Mahler measures and the classical…

The aim of this note is to compare several anticyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-functions for modular forms and $p$-adic families of ordinary modular forms, which have been defined and studied from different perspectives by Skinner-Urban, Hida,…

In a recent work [3], the authors established new results about general linear Mahler systems in several variables from the perspective of transcendental number theory, such as a multivariate extension of Nishioka's theorem. Working with…

We exhibit some nontrivial evaluations of the areal Mahler measure of multivariable polynomials, defined by Pritsker [Pri08] by considering the integral over the product of unit disks instead of the unit torus as in the standard case. As in…

Adopting the Mahler measure from number theory, we introduce it to toric quiver gauge theories, and study some of its salient features and physical implications. We propose that the Mahler measure is a universal measure for the quiver,…

To a dynamical system is attached a non-negative real number called entropy. In 1990, Lind, Schmidt and Ward proved that the entropy for the dynamical system induced by the Laurent polynomial algebra over the ring of the rational integers…

The paper investigates various $p$-adic versions of Littlewood's conjecture, generalizing a set-up considered recently by de Mathan and Teulie. In many cases it is shown that the sets of exceptions to these conjectures have Hausdorff…

The Mahler measures of certain polynomials of up to five variables are given in terms of multiple polylogarithms. Each formula is homogeneous and its weight coincides with the number of variables of the corresponding polynomial.
