Transformations of $L$-values

Abstract

In our recent work with Mat Rogers on resolving some Boyd's conjectures on two-variate Mahler measures, a new analytical machinery was introduced to write the values $L(E,2)$ of $L$-series of elliptic curves as periods in the sense of Kontsevich and Zagier. Here we outline, in slightly more general settings, the novelty of our method with Rogers, and provide a simple illustrative example.
