Seiberg-duality invariance of the Newton polynomial and Mahler measure

Consider Seiberg-dual dimer models with canonical edge weights, and let P1(z,w)P_1(z,w) and P2(z,w)P_2(z,w) be their Newton polynomials. Let nin_i be the number of edges, equivalently multiplets, in each perfect matching or GLSM field. Seiberg-duality invariance conjecture. The duals have the same Newton polynomial after cancelling the overall factors. If the factors 2n12^{n_1} and 2n22^{n_2} are retained, then

P2(z,w)=2n2n1P1(z,w),P_2(z,w)=2^{n_2-n_1}P_1(z,w),

and their Mahler measures satisfy

m2=m1+log(2n2n1).m_2=m_1+\log(2^{n_2-n_1}).

Thus Mahler measure is invariant under Seiberg duality up to the stated normalization shift. The source reports this behavior for the duals checked and does not prove it in general.
