The high-frequency part of g : ZMod p → ℂ: the function g with its mean
removed, $g_h(a) = g(a) - \tfrac{1}{p}\sum_b g(b)$. This is the orthogonal complement
of the constant (zero-frequency) component $g_0$ in the decomposition $g = g_0 + g_h$.
Instances For
The Fourier transform of the high-frequency part vanishes at $0$: $\widehat{g_h}(0) = 0$. This is the defining property of removing the zero Fourier mode.
Parseval applied to the high-frequency part $f_h$. The $L^2$ mass of the
high-frequency part is captured by the non-zero Fourier modes of g:
$$p \sum_{a} |g_h(a)|^2 = \sum_{\alpha \neq 0} |\hat g(\alpha)|^2.$$
