Abstract: In this paper we investigate a high dimensional version of Selberg's minorant problem for the indicator function of an interval. In particular, we study the corresponding problem of minorizing the indicator function of the box

Q_{N} = [- 1, 1]^{N}

by a function whose Fourier transform is supported in the same box

Q_{N}

. We show that when the dimension is sufficiently large there are no minorants with positive mass and we give an explicit lower bound for such dimension. On the other hand, we explicitly construct minorants for dimensions

1, 2, 3, 4

and

5

and, as an application, we use them to produce an improved diophantine inequality for exponential sums.
