We prove two polynomial identities which are particular cases of a conjecture arising in the theory of L-functions of twisted Carlitz modules. This conjecture is stated in earlier papers of the second author.

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

Polylogrithmic functions, such as the logarithm or dilogarithm, satisfy a number of algebraic identities. For the logarithm, all the identities follow from the product rule. For the dilogarithm and higher-weight classical polylogarithms,…

We present computational data and heuristic arguments which suggest that given a hyperbolic knot the volume correlates with its determinant, the Mahler measure of its Alexander polynomial and the Mahler measure of the twisted Alexander…

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…

The purpose of this note is to unify the role of the lantern identity in the proof of several finiteness theorems. In particular, we show that for every nonnegative integer m, the vector space (over the rationals) of type m (resp. T-type m)…

This note proves a version of Lubell-Yamamoto-Meshalkin inequality for general product measures.

Inhomogeneous multinomial measures on the mixed symbolic spaces and the real line are given. By counting the zeros of the corresponding generalized Dirichlet polynomials, one obtains a probability measure whose Olsen's functions $b$ and $B$…

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,…

Inspired by the work of Deninger, we present a formula that relates the Mahler measure of a two-variable variant of cyclotomic polynomial to regulator of class in motivic cohomology associated to cyclotomic fields and linear combination of…

Using three hypergeometric identities, we evaluate the harmonic measure of a finite interval and of its complementary for a strictly stable real L{\'e}vy process. This gives a simple and unified proof of several results in the literature,…

Let $\{E_n\}$ be the Euler numbers. In the paper we determine $E_{2^mk+b}-E_b$ modulo $2^{m+7}$, where $k$ and $m$ are positive integers and $b\in{0,2,4,...}$.

We consider the value distribution of the difference between logarithms of two symmetric power $L$-functions at $s=\sigma > 1/2$. We prove that certain averages of those values can be written as integrals involving a density function which…

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 investigate some properties of balayage, or, sweeping (out), of measures with respect to subclasses of subharmonic functions. The following issues are considered: relationships between balayage of measures with respect to classes of…

In the paper, concerning a question of Yi [23], we study general criterion for the uniqueness of an L-function and a general meromorphic function. Our results improve and extend all the existing results in this direction [23, 18, 17, 4] to…

We consider upper and lower bounds on the minimal height of an irrational number lying in a particular real quadratic field.

In the paper, the author expresses the difference $2^m\bigl[\zeta\bigl(-m,\frac{1+x}{2}\bigr)-\zeta\bigl(-m,\frac{2+x}{2}\bigr)\bigr]$ in terms of a linear combination of the function $\Gamma(m+1){\,}_2F_1(-m,-x;1;2)$ for $m\in\mathbb{N}_0$…

Let $B_{n}$ denote the Bernoulli numbers, and $S(n,k)$ denote the Stirling numbers of the second kind. We prove the following identity $$ B_{m+n}=\sum_{\substack{0\leq k \leq n \\ 0\leq l \leq m}}\frac{(-1)^{k+l}\,k!\, l!\,…

We characterize the situation of having many normal measures on a measurable cardinal. We show the plausibility of having many normal measures on each compact cardinal.
