In mathematics, a Siegel upper half-space is the set of n×n symmetric matrices over the real number field whose imaginary part is positive definite. The name is for Carl Ludwig Siegel.

For example, when n = 1, the Siegel upper half-space is the upper half-plane.

There is a group action of the symplectic group
