I’ll then discuss a recent stronger conjecture than Boyd’s,which relates the set of these Mahler measures to other spectral sets of knownstructure, also coming from integer polynomials.(30 minutes general talk, followed by 45minutes of more specialized talk) </div><div class="event_time">14:15 &bull; EPF Lausanne, CM 1 517</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Friday, January 16      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/algebraic-geometry-and-moduli-seminar">Algebraic Geometry and Moduli Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker">Dr. Francesca Carocci (Roma Tor Vergata)</div><div class="event_title">Title T.B.A.</div><div class="event_time">16:00 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/algebraic-geometry-and-moduli-seminar">Algebraic Geometry and Moduli Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker">Dr. Thomas Blomme (Universite de Neuchatel)</div><div class="event_title">Title T.B.A.</div><div class="event_time">17:15 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>  </div>  <div id="sms_footer">    address: Alessandra Naldi Windler, Departement Mathematik, HG G 51.4, ETH Zurich, Raemistrasse 101, CH-8092 Zurich<br />    email: <a href="mailto:bulletin@math.ch">bulletin@math.ch</a> | phone: +41 44 632 3684 | url: <a href="https://math.ch">https://math.ch</a>    <br /><br /><img src="//www2.math.ethz.ch/smsjs/sms_logo.gif" width="150" alt="SMS/SMG Logo" title="SMS/SMG Logo" />  </div></div>';
