Equations for Mahler measure and isogenies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study some functional equations between Mahler measures of genus-one curves in terms of isogenies between the curves. These equations have the potential to establish relationships between Mahler measure and especial values of L-functions. These notes are based on a talk that the author gave at the “Cuartas Jornadas de Teoría de Números”, Bilbao, 2011.

Computing solutions of linear Mahler equations
Mahler equations relate evaluations of the same function f at iterated bth 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, the problem of solving Mahler equations in closed form has occurred in connection with number-theoretic questions. A difficulty in the manipulation of Mahler equa...
متن کاملA New Method for Obtaining Polylogarithmic Mahler Measure Formulas
Given a formula for the Mahler measure of a rational function expressed in terms of polylogarithms, we describe a new method that allows us to construct a rational function with 2 more variables and whose Mahler measure is still expressed in terms of polylogarithms. We use this method to exhibit three new examples of Mahler measure and higher Mahler measure formulas. One of them involves a sing...
متن کامل1 3 Fe b 20 07 Mahler measure under variations of the base group Oliver
We study properties of a generalization of the Mahler measure to elements in group rings, in terms of the Lück-Fuglede-Kadison determinant. Our main focus is the variation of the Mahler measure when the base group is changed. In particular, we study how to obtain the Mahler measure over an infinite group as limit of Mahler measures over finite groups, for example, in the classical case of the f...
متن کاملPolynomials with small Mahler measure
We describe several searches for polynomials with integer coefficients and small Mahler measure. We describe the algorithm used to test Mahler measures. We determine all polynomials with degree at most 24 and Mahler measure less than 1.3, test all reciprocal and antireciprocal polynomials with height 1 and degree at most 40, and check certain sparse polynomials with height 1 and degree as large...
متن کاملSieve-type Lower Bounds for the Mahler Measure of Polynomials on Subarcs
We prove sieve-type lower bounds for the Mahler measure of polynomials on subarcs of the unit circle of the complex plane. This is then applied to give an essentially sharp lower bound for the Mahler measure of the Fekete polynomials on subarcs.
