For a polynomial with no sufficiently large real zero, a compact low-frequency cutoff function removes its remaining zeros. A reciprocal satisfying , , , defines a Fourier multiplier mapping to . Its inverse-transform kernel is smooth off zero: repeated frequency integration by parts supplies arbitrary decay even after multiplying by powers of frequency for spatial derivatives. Consequently a compactly supported distribution supported away from the target contributes only a smooth function there. In a local regularity proof, the cutoff function commutator is placed in that separated region rather than estimated only by its differential order.
