Abstract: Two measurable sets S,LambdasubseteqmathcalRd form a Heisenberg uniqueness pair, if every bounded measure mu with support in S whose Fourier transform vanishes on {Lambda} must be zero. We show that a quadratic hypersurface and the union of two hyperplanes in general position form a Heisenberg uniqueness pair in mathcalRd. As a corollary we obtain a new, surprising version of the classical Cram'er-Wold theorem: a bounded measure supported on a quadratic hypersurface is uniquely determined by its projections onto two generic hyperplanes (whereas an arbitrary measure requires the knowledge of a dense set of projections). We also give an application to the unique continuation of eigenfunctions of second-order PDEs with constant coefficients .
