Abstract [eng] In this note we consider various generalizations of the classical Mahler measure M(P) = exp (21π∫02π log |P(eiθ) dθ ) for complex polynomials P, and prove sharp lower bounds for them. For example, we show that for any monic polynomial P ∈ C[z] satisfying |P(0)| = 1 the quantity M0(P) = exp (21π∫02π max(0, log |P(eiθ)|) dθ) is greater than or equal to M(1 + z1 + z2) = 1.381356 . . . . This inequality is best possible, with equality being attained for all P(z) = zn + c with n ∈ N and |c| = 1.
