Type: Book
The main theme of the book is the theory of heights as they appear in various guises. This includes a large body of results on Mahler's measure of the height of a polynomial of which topic there is no book available. The genesis of the measure in a paper by Lehmer is looked at, …
Heights of polynomials and entropy in algebraic dynamics

Type: Book
"This book covers an exciting interplay between arithmetic and dynamical systems. The fulcrum is a natural measure of height of a polynomial, known as Mahler's measure. In dynamical systems, this same measure arises as the entropy - a measure of orbit complexity - of a map assoc…
Publisher description: Can computer games be great literature? Do the rapidly evolving and culturally expanding genres of digital literature mean that the narrative mode of discourse--novels, films, television series--is losing its dominant position in our culture? Is it necessa…
