We present a proof of the formula, due to Mellit and Brunault, which evaluates an integral of the regulator of two modular units to the value of the $L$-series of a modular form of weight 2 at $s=2$. Applications of the formula to computing…
This is the first part of a work devoted to the study of linear Mahler systems in several variables from the perspective of transcendence and algebraic independence. We prove two main results concerning systems that are regular singular at…
We use the Wilf-Zeilberger method to prove identities between Mahler measures of polynomials. In particular, we offer a new proof of a formula due to Lal\'{i}n, and we show how to translate the identity into a formula involving elliptic…
Here we give a lower bound of the Mahler measure on a set of polynomials that are "almost" reciprocal. Here "almost" reciprocal means that the outermost coefficients of each polynomial mirror each other in proportion, while this pattern…
Let l be an oriented link of d components in a homology 3-sphere. For any nonnegative integer q, let l(q) be the link of d-1 components obtained from l by performing 1/q surgery on the dth component. Then the Mahler measure of the Alexander…
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…
Amoebae from tropical geometry and the Mahler measure from number theory play important roles in quiver gauge theories and dimer models. Their dependencies on the coefficients of the Newton polynomial closely resemble each other, and they…
Pellarin introduced the deformation of multiple zeta values of Thakur as elements over Tate algebras. In this paper, we relate these values to a certain coordinate of a higher dimensional Drinfeld module over Tate algebras which we will…
Mahler's measure defines a dynamical system on the algebraic numbers. In this paper, we study the problem of which number fields have points which wander under the iteration of Mahler's measure. We completely solve the problem for all…
In a recent paper the team of Cogdell, Jorgenson and Smajlovi\'c develop infinite series representations for the logarithmic Mahler measure of a complex linear form, with 4 or more variables. We establish the case of 3 variables, by…
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,…
The $k$-higher Mahler measure of a nonzero polynomial $P$ is the integral of $\log^k|P|$ on the unit circle. In this note, we consider Lehmer's question (which is a long-standing open problem for $k=1$) for $k>1$ and find some interesting…
We present a new approach to the study of multiplier ideals in a local, two-dimensional setting. Our method allows us to deal with ideals, graded systems of ideals and plurisubharmonic functions in a unified way. Among the applications are…
We study rather general multiple zeta-functions whose denominators are given by polynomials. The main aim is to prove explicit formulas for the values of those multiple zeta-functions at non-positive integer points. We first treat the case…
The purpose of this short note is to give a proof of the following identity between (logarithmic) Mahler measures m(y^2+2xy+y-x^3-2x^2-x)=5/7*m(y^2+4xy+y-x^3+x^2) which is one of many examples that arise from the comparison of Mahler…
The Vol-Det Conjecture relates the volume and the determinant of a hyperbolic alternating link in $S^3$. We use exact computations of Mahler measures of two-variable polynomials to prove the Vol-Det Conjecture for many infinite families of…
This is an article in mathematics, specifically in set theory. On the example of the Measure Recognition Problem (MRP) the article highlights the phenomenon of the utility of a multidisciplinary mathematical approach to a single…
We call a multivariable polynomial an Agler denominator if it is the denominator of a rational inner function in the Schur-Agler class, an important subclass of the bounded analytic functions on the polydisk. We give a necessary and…
Mahler equations relate evaluations of the same function $f$ at iterated $b$th powers of the variable. They arise in particular in the study of automatic sequences and in the complexity analysis of divide-and-conquer algorithms. Recently,…
Recently the second author and Qin numerically verified some Mahler measure identities of genus 2 and 3 polynomial families. In this paper, we use the elliptic regulator to prove an identity invoving shifted Mahler measure for Boyd's…
