Abstract: We study a recent result of Bourgain, Clozel and Kahane, a version of which states that a sufficiently nice function $f:mathbbRightarrowmathbbR$ that coincides with its Fourier transform and vanishes at the origin has a root in the interval $(c,infty)$, where the optimal $c$ satisfies $0.41leqcleq0.64$. A similar result holds in higher dimensions. We improve the one-dimensional result to $0.45leqcleq0.594$, and the lower bound in higher dimensions. We also prove that extremizers exist, and have infinitely many double roots. With this purpose in mind, we establish a new structure statement about Hermite polynomials which relates their pointwise evaluation to linear flows on the torus, and applies to other families of orthogonal polynomials as well.
