Boyd's conjecture on the closedness of Mahler measures
Boyd's conjecture on the closedness of Mahler measures
For each non-zero polynomial with , let denote its Mahler measure, and define
Boyd's conjecture. The set is closed with respect to the Euclidean topology.
This conjecture concerns the topological structure of the set of Mahler measures of non-zero integral multivariate polynomials. The source attributes it to Boyd and does not state whether it has been resolved.
