Abstract: Let $ G$ be a locally compact group of bounded representation dimension $ d(G)$. Then, for any integrable function $ f$ on $ G$, the product of the measures of the support of $ f$ and the support of its operator-valued Fourier transform on the dual space of $ G$ is bounded below by $ 1/d(G)$. We classify all functions for which equality holds and prove criteria for when such functions exist.
