Properties
- The Mahler measure is multiplicative, i.e. M(pq) = M(p)M(q).
- (Kronecker's Theorem) If p is an irreducible monic integer polynomial with, then either p(z)=z, or p is a cyclotomic polynomial.
- Lehmer's conjecture asserts that there is a constant such that if p is an irreducible integer polynomial, then either or .

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
