It’s a reach, but the Fourier transformation of a Schwarz (rapidly decaying) function is also a Schwarz function. Compact support is a strictly stronger condition than Schwarz (the function must eventually decay to 0) but doesn’t have this nice property with respect to Fourier transforms, i.e. the FT of a compactly supported function is Schwarz but not necessarily compactly supported
If every state in America were only 1% worse than every other country, then again the first 50 entries would be the American states. This is barely saying more than “America has the highest incarceration rate,” so it shouldn’t be a surprise.
