Rodriguez-Villegas conjectures for logarithmic Mahler measures

For a Laurent polynomial PC[x1±1,,xn±1]P\in\mathbb C[x_1^{\pm1},\ldots,x_n^{\pm1}], let m(P)m(P) denote its logarithmic Mahler measure. Let f3,15f_{3,15} and f4,6f_{4,6} be the modular forms defined in the preceding Bessel-moment conjecture, and let L(f3,15,4)L(f_{3,15},4) and L(f4,6,5)L(f_{4,6},5) be their corresponding special LL-values. Rodriguez-Villegas conjecture. The following evaluations are expected:

m(1+x1+x2+x3+x4)=6(152π)5L(f3,15,4),m(1+x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4)=6\left(\frac{\sqrt{15}}{2\pi}\right)^5L(f_{3,15},4),

and

m(1+x1+x2+x3+x4+x5)=3(6π)6L(f4,6,5).m(1+x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5)=3\left(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\pi}\right)^6L(f_{4,6},5).

These conjectures connect logarithmic Mahler measures with special modular-form LL-values; the supplied source gives no resolution status.
