Siegel Zeros and the Hardy-Littlewood Conjecture

Yunan Wang

Abstract

In 2016, Fei \cite{fei2016application} established a bound on the Siegel zeros for real primitive Dirichlet characters modulo $q$, assuming the weak Hardy-Littlewood conjecture. Building on Fei's work, Jia \cite{jia2022conditional} demonstrated the same bound using a stronger version of the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture. In this paper, we present a slightly simplified approach to reprove their results.

Key Result

Theorem 2

Let $q$ be a prime number congruent to 3 modulo 4 and let $\chi$ be the real primitive character of modulus $q$. Suppose that the Dirichlet L-function $L(s, \chi)$ has a real exceptional zero $\beta$. If conjecture conj1 is correct then there is a number $c_4>0$ such that for any such $q$ and $\beta
