Abstract: In 1990, Lind, Schmidt and Ward gave a formula for the entropy of certain mathbbZn-dynamical systems attached to Laurent polynomials P, in terms of the (logarithmic) Mahler measure of P. We extend the expansive case of their result to the noncommutative setting where mathbbZn gets replaced by suitable discrete amenable groups. Generalizing the Mahler measure, Fuglede-Kadison determinants from the theory of group von Neumann algebras appear in the entropy formula.
