Boyd and Rodriguez Villegas's Mahler measure identity for a conductor-15 elliptic curve
Boyd and Rodriguez Villegas's Mahler measure identity for a conductor-15 elliptic curve
Let denote the Mahler measure of a Laurent polynomial . Let be the elliptic curve
which has conductor . Boyd and Rodriguez Villegas's conjecture. The Mahler measure satisfies
This identity is presented as an example of the expected relationship between Mahler measures of exact polynomials and special values of -functions, motivated by Beilinson's conjectures and work of Boyd and Rodriguez Villegas. The question mark in the source indicates that the equality is conjectural.
