Abstract We prove the conjectural relations between Mahler measures and L-values of elliptic curves of conductors 20 and 24. We also present new hypergeometric expressions for L-values of elliptic curves of conductors 27 and 36. Furthermore, we prove a new functional equation for the Mahler measure of the polynomial family (1+X) (1+Y )(X+Y )−αXY, α∈ℝ.

Mahler measure and elliptic curve L-functions at s = 3
We study the Mahler measure of some three-variable polynomials that are conjectured to be related to L-functions of elliptic curves at s D 3 by Boyd. The connection with L-functions can be explained…
The Beilinson conjectures for CM elliptic curves via hypergeometric functions
We consider certain CM elliptic curves which are related to Fermat curves, and express the values of L-functions at $$s=2$$s=2 in terms of special values of generalized hypergeometric functions. We…
Further explorations of Boyd's conjectures and a conductor 21 elliptic curve
TLDR
The modular parametrization of the elliptic curve $\tilde P(x,y)=0$, again of conductor 21, is used, due to Ramanujan and the Mellit--Brunault formula for the regulator of modular units.
The Mahler measure of a Calabi–Yau threefold and special L-values
The aim of this paper is to prove a Mahler measure formula of a four-variable Laurent polynomial whose zero locus defines a Calabi–Yau threefold. We show that its Mahler measure is a rational linear…

Regulator proofs for Boyd’s identities on genus 2 curves
We use the elliptic regulator to recover some identities between Mahler measures involving certain families of genus 2 curves that were conjectured by Boyd and proven by Bertin and Zudilin by…
The Mahler measure of a Weierstrass form
We prove an identity between Mahler measures of polynomials that was originally conjectured by Boyd. The combination of this identity with a result of Zudilin leads to a formula involving a Mahler…
The Mahler measure for arbitrary tori
We consider a variation of the Mahler measure where the defining integral is performed over a more general torus. We focus our investigation on two particular polynomials related to certain elliptic…
On the Mahler Measure Of
