Uncertainty principle: minimize $\int_{-\infty}^\infty |t| |\widehat{f}(t)|^2 dt$ for $f$ of compact support

This is a question of uncertainty-principle type stemming from Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction? Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be even, absolutely continuous and supported in $[-\frac{...

Approximating a function by a convolution of given function?

Let $g:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a given differentiable function of exponential decay on both sides. Now let us be given a function $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$, also of exponential decay, if you ...

The Fourier transform of a function supported on $B_1$ is essentially constant on $B_1$?

I'm going through the last steps of Bourgain and Demeter's proof of the $l^2$ decoupling conjecture, but I'm unable to see how the first inequality in (43) goes through. I'll water down the question a ...
