Mahler ’ S Measure and the Dilogarithm

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 ζF (2) of zeta functions of number fields. Specifically, we define a class A of polynomials A with the property that πm(A) is a linear combination of values D at algebraic arguments. For many polynomials in this class the correspo...

Tutte polynomials of wheels via generating functions

We find an explicit expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-fan. We also find a formula of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel in terms of the Tutte polynomial of $n$-fans. Finally, we give an alternative expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel and then prove the explicit formula for the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel.

Mahler ’ s measure : proof of two conjectured formulae

In this note we prove the two formulae conjectured by D. W. Boyd [Experiment. Math. 7 (1998), 37-82], m(y(x + 1) + y(x + 6x + 1) + (x + 1)) = 8 3 L ′ (χ−4,−1), m(y(x + 1) + y(x − 10x + 1) + (x + 1)) = 20 3 L ′ (χ−3,−1), where m denotes the logarithmic Mahler measure for two-variable polynomials.

An Algebraic Integration for Mahler Measure

There are many examples of several variable polynomials whose Mahler measure is expressed in terms of special values of polylogarithms. These examples are expected to be related to computations of regulators, as observed by Deninger [D] and, later, by Rodriguez-Villegas [R] and Maillot [M]. While Rodriguez-Villegas made this relationship explicit for the two-variable case, it is our goal to und...
