As a consequence, a Mahler measure minimizing polynomial, if it exists, is realized as the Alexander polynomial of a fibered hyperbolic link of at least 2 components. For given polynomial, we give also an upper bound on the minimal hyperbolic volume of knots/links, and contrarily, construct knots of arbitrarily large volume, which are arborescent, or have given free genus at least 2.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-12-06T02:40:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25", "57M12", "57M50" ], "keywords": [ "alexander polynomial", "arborescent links", "minimal hyperbolic volume", "mahler measure minimizing polynomial", "components" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 31, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0712.0866S" } } }
