Evaluation of the third logarithmic Mahler measure of 1+x+y1+x+y

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let

μ3(1+x+y)\mu_3(1+x+y)

denote the third logarithmic Mahler measure of the polynomial 1+x+y1+x+y, and let Ls⁡4\operatorname{Ls}_4 and Cl⁡s\operatorname{Cl}_s denote the log-sine and Clausen functions, respectively. Then the evaluation conjecture.

μ3(1+x+y)=6πLs⁡4(2π3)−9πCl⁡4(π3)−π4Cl⁡2(π3)−132ζ(3).\mu_3(1+x+y)=\frac{6}{\pi}\operatorname{Ls}_4\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right)-\frac{9}{\pi}\operatorname{Cl}_4\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)-\frac{\pi}{4}\operatorname{Cl}_2\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)-\frac{13}{2}\zeta(3).

The identity is presented as a conjectural closed form suggested by numerical integer-relation computations and related evaluations; the source does not establish whether it has since been proved or disproved.
