From $L$-series of elliptic curves to Mahler measures (1012.3036v3)
Published 14 Dec 2010 in math.NT and math.CA
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 CM elliptic curves of conductors 27 and 36. Furthermore, we prove a new functional equation for the Mahler measure of the polynomial family $(1+X)(1+Y)(X+Y)-\alpha XY$, $\alpha\in\mathbb R$.
