Abstract: We study the following question: Given an open set Omega, symmetric about 0, and a continuous, integrable, positive definite function f, supported in Omega and with f(0)=1, how large can intf be? This problem has been studied so far mostly for convex domains Omega in Euclidean space. In this paper we study the question in arbitrary locally compact abelian groups and for more general domains. Our emphasis is on finite groups as well as Euclidean spaces and . We exhibit upper bounds for intf assuming geometric properties of Omega of two types: (a) packing properties of Omega and (b) spectral properties of Omega. Several examples and applications of the main theorems are shown. In particular we recover and extend several known results concerning convex domains in Euclidean space. Also, we investigate the question of estimating intOmegaf over possibly dispersed sets solely in dependence of the given measure m:=|Omega| of Omega. In this respect we show that in RR and the integral is maximal for intervals.
