"On the Mahler measure of some temper polynomials"

Abstract: I will talk on the Mahler measure of some temper polynomials, 
construct the nontrivial integral element of the second K-group  for 
certain tempered elliptic curves.
I will also give a proof of Deninger's conjecture on the Mahler measure 
of x+1/x+y+1/y+1  by Beilinson's regulator map. (This conjecture is 
proved by M. Rogers and  W. Zudilin in 2011).
