The Siegel zero is a concept in number theory, particularly in the field of analytic number theory. It refers to a hypothetical zero of a certain class of Dirichlet L-functions, specifically those associated with non-principal characters of a Dirichlet character modulo \( q \). The Siegel zero is named after Carl Ludwig Siegel, who studied these functions.

An exceptional zero is the possible real simple zero omitted from the otherwise uniform Classical zero-free region for Dirichlet L-functions. It belongs to a real nonprincipal primitive Dirichlet character and satisfies .
