Is the Dedekind zeta function of a number field always non-zero at $s=\frac{1}{2}$? For Riemann zeta function, it's true by direct computation. If this is true for quadratic fields, then one can use this to prove that the root number of Dirichlet L function of any quadratic Dirichlet character is $1$ (Indeed it's $1$ from other approachs).
