Let g be a nonconstant rational map from the projective line to itself that has degree greater than one and is defined over a number field. The map g gives rise to generalized Mahler measures for polynomials in one variable. We use…

In 2008, Pritsker introduced the areal Mahler measure, which is defined using an integral over the unit disk, as opposed to the classical Mahler measure which is defined using an integral over the unit circle. In this paper we introduce…

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…

We introduce a new class of adelic heights on the projective line. We estimate their essential minimum and prove a result of equidistribution (at every place) for points of small height with estimates on the speed of convergence. To each…

We study Laurent polynomials in any number of variables that are sums of at most $k$ monomials. We first show that the Mahler measure of such a polynomial is at least $h/2^{k-2}$, where $h$ is the height of the polynomial. Next, restricting…

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…

We give a geometric proof that one may compute a particular generalized Mahler integral using equidistribution of preperiodic points of a dynamical system on the sphere. The dynamical system is associated to the multiplication by 2 map on…

In the following paper a version of the classical Mahler formula is found. The height and the measure are now relative to a self-map on a projective space of arbitrary dimension.

We study the asymptotic distribution of the Galois orbits of generic sequences of algebraic points of small height in a projective variety over a number field. Our main result is a generalization of Yuan's equidistribution theorem that…

In the present article, we define a notion of good height functions on quasi-projective varieties $V$ defined over number fields and prove an equidistribution theorem of small points for such height functions. Those good height functions…

Schur studied limits of the arithmetic means $A_n$ of zeros for polynomials of degree $n$ with integer coefficients and simple zeros in the closed unit disk. If the leading coefficients are bounded, Schur proved that $\limsup_{n\to\infty}…

Baker-Rumely and Favre-Rivera-Letelier independently proved an important arithmetic equidistribution theorem for points of small height on the Berkovich compactification of the projective line with respect to an adelic measure on…

We study the asymptotic growth of coefficients of Mahler power series with algebraic coefficients, as measured by their logarithmic Weil height. We show that there are five different growth behaviors, all of which being reached. Thus, there…

We establish a quantitative adelic equidistribution theorem for a sequence of algebraic zeros divisors on the projective line over the separable closure of a product formula field having small diagonals and small $g$-heights with respect to…

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…

We prove that the local height of a point on a Drinfeld module can be computed by averaging the logarithm of the distance to that point over the torsion points of the module. This gives rise to a Drinfeld module analog of a weak version of…

We construct a sequence of cyclotomic integers (Gaussian periods) of particularly small Mahler measure/height. We study the asymptotics of their Mahler measure as a function of their conductor, to find that the growth rate is the…

Our aim is to explain instances in which the value of the logarithmic Mahler measure of a polynomial can be written in an unexpectedly neat manner. To this end we examine polynomials defining rational curves, which allows their zero-locus…

We prove that under certain explicit conditions, the Mahler measure of a three-variable polynomial can be expressed in terms of elliptic curve $L$-values and Bloch-Wigner dilogarithmmic values, conditionally on Beilinson's conjecture. In…

We consider a family of heights defined by the $L_p$ norms of polynomials with respect to the equilibrium measure of a lemniscate for $0 \le p \le \infty$, where $p=0$ corresponds to the geometric mean (the generalized Mahler measure) and…
