On the stated branch of the principal complex logarithm, the only denominator zero is , and . ThereforeZero is a logarithmic branch point, not a removable isolated singularity, even though tends to zero as within the cut plane. Continuation around zero changes by . The nonpositive real axis is the chosen branch cut; its nonzero points are not intrinsically branch points and admit local analytic continuation. There are no other finite singularities inside the specified branch domain.
