David Corfield asked the following questions yesterday: Is the $n$-dimensional Fourier transform of $\exp(-\|x\|)$ always non-negative, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the Euclidean norm on $\Bbb R^n$? What is its support? I want to ask a more general question: what happens when $\|\cdot\|$ is the $p$-norm, for arbitrary $p\in [1, 2]$? David's question is here: <https://mathoverflow.net/questions/723/is-the-fourier-transform-of-exp-x-non-negative>
