The Mahler measure M(α) of an algebraic integer α is the product of the absolute value of the conjugates of α which lie outside the unit circle. The quantity log M(α) occurs in ergodic theory as the entropy of an endomorphism of the torus. Adler and Marcus showed that if β = M(α) then β is a Perron number which is a unit if α is a unit. They asked whether the Perron number β whose minimal polynomial is tm −t −1 is the measure of any algebraic integer. We show here that the answer is negative for all m > 3.
