Number theory on Banach space $L^2(\mathbb R)$ meets linear independence?

Consider an orthonormal basis $(\varphi_k)$ of $L^2(\mathbb R)$ with Lebesgue measure. I came along a nice number theoretic question in analysis: Write $$f_k(x):=\int_{\left\lvert y \right\rvert \...

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 ...
