Mahler measure as special values of $L$-functions
Colloque par Matilde Lalin (Université de Montréal)
The Mahler measure of an $n$-variable polynomial $P$ is the integral of $log|P|$ over the $n$-dimensional unit torus $T^n$ with respect to the Haar measure. Moreover, it is often connected to special values of $L$-functions. These conections can often be explained in terms of number theoretic statements that relate L-functions to periods (such as Beilinson's conjectures). We are going to explore examples of these relationships.
