Squarefree values of trinomial discriminants

David W. Boyd, Greg Martin, Mark Thom

The discriminant of a trinomial of the form $x^{n} \pm x^{m} \pm 1$ has the form $\pm n^{n} \pm (n - m)^{n - m} m^{m}$ if $n$ and $m$ are relatively prime. We investigate when these discrimina…

Mahler's Measure and the Dilogarithm (II)

David W. Boyd, Fernando Rodriguez-Villegas, Nathan M. Dunfield

We continue to investigate the relation between the Mahler measure of certain two variable polynomials, the values of the Bloch--Wigner dilogarithm $D (z)$ and the values $ζ_{F} (2)$ o…
