 Uniqueness of a trigonometric series outside a finite set

If the symmetric partial sums of ${\sum }_{r\in \mathbb{Z}}{a}_r{e}^{irt}$ tend to zero at every point outside a finite set, then all coefficients vanish. Almost-everywhere convergence first gives $a_{\pm n}\to 0$. The twice-integrated series $F(t)=a_0{t}^2/2-{\sum }_{r\ne 0}{a}_r{e}^{irt}/r^2$ is continuous. Riemann summation of a convergent trigonometric series makes its symmetric second derivative zero away from the exceptional points, so it is affine on each intervening interval. Sinc-squared summation of a sequence tending to zero makes its symmetric first-order quotient zero everywhere, removing all possible affine corners. The globally affine function differs from a periodic function by $a_0{t}^2/2$, forcing $a_0=0$; periodicity then makes it constant, and integration against each nonzero frequency gives $a_r=0$.
