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

Given complex numbers $m_1,l_1$ and positive integers $m_2,l_2$, such that $m_1+m_2=l_1+l_2$, we define $l_2$-dimensional hypergeometric integrals $I_{a,b}(z;m_1,m_2,l_1,l_2)$, $a,b=0,...,\min(m_2,l_2)$, depending on a complex parameter…

We investigate the representation of homogeneous, symmetric means in the form M(x,y)=\frac{x-y}{2f((x-y)/(x+y))}. This allows for a new approach to comparing means. As an example, we provide optimal estimate of the form (1-\mu)min(x,y)+ \mu…

We continue to investigate the relation between the Mahler measure of certain two variable polynomials, the values of the Bloch--Wigner dilogarithm $D(z)$ and the values $\zeta_F(2)$ of zeta functions of number fields. Specifically, we…

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…

Identities between Whittaker and modified Bessel functions are derived for particular complex orders. Certain polynomials appear in such identities, which satisfy a fourth order differential equation (not of hypergeometric type), and they…

This paper addresses a long standing open problem due to Lehmer in which the triple 2,3,7 plays a notable role. Lehmer's problem asks whether there is a gap between 1 and the next smallest algebraic integer with respect to Mahler measure.…

We show that for almost every polynomial P(x,y) with complex coefficients, the difference of the logarithmic Mahler measures of P(x,y) and P(x,x^n) can be expanded in a type of formal series similar to an asymptotic power series expansion…

In this paper we prove some new identities for multiple zeta values and multiple zeta star values of arbitrary depth by using the methods of integral computations of logarithm function and iterated integral representations of series. By…

Let m(a,b) and M(a,b,c) be symmetric means. We say that M is type 1 invariant with respect to m if M(m(a,c),m(a,b),m(b,c)) = M(a,b,c) for all a, b, c > 0. If m is strict and isotone, then we show that there exists a unique M which is type 1…

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.…

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…

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…

The hyper-Mahler measures $m_k( 1+x_1+x_2),k\in\mathbb Z_{>1}$ and $m_k( 1+x_1+x_2+x_3),k\in\mathbb Z_{>1}$ are evaluated in closed form via Goncharov-Deligne periods, namely $\mathbb Q$-linear combinations of multiple polylogarithms at…

We prove an identity relating Mahler measures of a certain family of non-tempered polynomials to those of tempered polynomials. Evaluations of Mahler measures of some polynomials in the first family are also given in terms of special values…

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…

Given complex numbers $m_1,l_1$ and nonnegative integers $m_2,l_2$, such that $m_1+m_2=l_1+l_2$, for any $a,b=0, ... ,\min(m_2,l_2)$ we define an $l_2$-dimensional Barnes type q-hypergeometric integral $I_{a,b}(z,\mu;m_1,m_2,l_1,l_2)$ and…

This paper points at an intriguing inverse function relation between Eisenstein series connected with ``Modular Mahler Measures'' and instanton numbers for ``Non-Critical Strings''. In a companion paper Mahler measures are related to dimer…

Let m be a unidimensional measure with dimension d. A natural question is to ask if the measure m is comparable with the Hausdorff measure (or the packing measure) in dimension d. We give an answer (which is in general negative) to this…
