\thispagestyle{empty}
Consider three vectors $a,b,c\in\Cbb^n$ where $c$
is a \emph{circular convolution} of $a$ and $b$:
\begin{equation*}
c_i = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}a_kb_{\braket{i-k}_n}
\quad
\text{for $i\in\{0,1,\cdots,n-1\}$}
\end{equation*}
where $\braket{\ell}_n$ is a modulo operator.
Define another vectors $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$
as the \emph{Discrete Fourier Transform} (DFT)
of $a$, $b$, and $c$
\begin{equation*}
\alpha_j = \frac{1}{\sqrt n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}a_i\conj{\omega}^{ij},
\quad
\beta_j = \frac{1}{\sqrt n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}b_i\conj{\omega}^{ij},
\quad\text{and}\quad
\gamma_j = \frac{1}{\sqrt n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}c_i\conj{\omega}^{ij},
\end{equation*}
where $\omega=e^{\iota 2\pi/n}$ is the
\emph{primitive $n^{\mathrm{th}}$ root of unity} and
$\conj\omega$ is its complex conjugate.
Then the \emph{circular convolution property} states that $\gamma$
is obtained by the entry-wise product of $\alpha$ and $\beta$.
This is easily seen by rearranging terms in summations.
\begin{alignat*}{2}

\frac{1}{\sqrt n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}c_i{\conj\omega}^{ij}
