For a subgroup K of a finite abelian group G, its annihilator is
K⊥={χ∈G:χ(k)=1 for every k∈K}.
(1)
These are exactly the linear characters that descend to the quotient group G/K. The character group of a finite abelian group has the same size as the group, so ∣K⊥∣=∣G/K∣=∣G∣/∣K∣. The annihilator is what abelian hidden-subgroup Fourier sampling measures.
