- Description
- We prove that the (logarithmic) Mahler measure m(P) of P(x,y)=x+1/x+y+1/y+3 is equal to the L-value 2L'(E,0) attached to the elliptic curve E:P(x,y)=0 of conductor 21. In order to do this, we investigate the measure of a more general Laurent polynomial: Pa,b,c(x,y)=a(x+1/x)+b(y+1/y)+c] and show that the wanted quantity m(P) is related to a 'half-Mahler' measure of P(x,y)=P √7,1,3(x,y). In the finale, we use the modular parametrization of the elliptic curve P(x,y)=0, again of conductor 21, due to Ramanujan and the Mellit-Brunault formula for the regulator of modular units.
