Mahler’s Measure and the Dilogarithm (I)
• Mathematics
• 2002
Abstract An explicit formula is derived for the logarithmic Mahler measure $m(P)$ of $P(x,\,y)\,=\,P(x)y-q(x)$ , where $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ are cyclotomic. This is used to find many examples of suchExpand
Ergodic theory for complex continued fractions
For a complex continued fraction algorithm the invariant measure for the shift transformation is determined explicitly in terms of elementary functions, and the transformation is shown to be ergodic.Expand

We develop the relation between hyperbolic geometry and arithmetic equidistribution problems that arises from the action of arithmetic groups on real hyperbolic spaces, especially in dimension up toExpand
On measures of polynomials in several variables
The measure of a polynomial is defined as the exponential of a certain intractable-looking integral. However, it is shown how the measures of certain polynomials can be evaluated explicitly: when allExpand

Some examples for which it appear that log M(P(x, y) = rL'(E, 0), where E is an elliptic curve and r is a rational number, often either an integer or the reciprocal of an integer. Expand
Well-poised generation of Apéry-like recursions
The idea to use classical hypergeometric series and, in particular, well-poised hypergeometric series in diophantine problems of the values of the polylogarithms has led to several novelties inExpand
Apéry limits of differential equations of order 4 and 5.
• Mathematics

The concept of Apery limit for second and third order differential equations is extended to fourth and fifth order equations, mainly of Calabi-Yau type. For those equations obtained from HadamardExpand
Diophantine approximation in the field Q(i(111/2))
Abstract In this paper, we consider the approximation spectrum w.r.t. the field Q ( i 2 ) . The smallest limit point of this spectrum is found to be c 0 = 1.78863819 …  , where c 0 belongs to a realExpand
A Third-Order Apéry-Like Recursion for ζ(5)
In 1978, Apery has given sequences of rational approximations to $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$ yielding the irrationality of each of these numbers. One of the key ingredient of Apery's proof areExpand
