The Mahler-measure-zero conjecture for finite-measure rank one maps

Let (X,B,P,T)(X,\mathcal{B},{\mathbb{P}},T) be a rank one map, where (X,B,P)(X,\mathcal{B},{\mathbb{P}}) is a measure space and TT is the associated transformation. Assume that

P(X)<+.{\mathbb{P}}(X)<+\infty.

Mahler-measure-zero conjecture. The Mahler measure of the spectrum of TT is zero.

The paper proves the claim for subclasses of rank one maps, including a class with cutting parameter mk=θ(kβ)m_k=\theta(k^\beta) for some β1\beta\leq 1, but leaves the general finite-measure case open. The conjecture is related to the conjecture that all rank one maps have singular spectrum.
