    I fail to understand why this question was closed ? http://mathoverflow.net/questions/87647/connections-of-results-in-harmonic-analysis-in-the-theory-of-transcendental-numbe . It seems to me a little extreme. Is it because those voted are sure, that the results in harmonic Analysis has no bearing to Transcendental Number Theory ?

    The initial title was asking for connection with Uncertainty Principle, which I changed later as per S. Carnahan's suggestion. I also added what led me to think that there might be connection to results in Harmonic Analysis :-

    That Polya's result about entire function of exponential type, having slow growth (i.e., type < log 2 and taking integer values at integers have to be polynomial can be seen as a Uncertainty type result.

    If someone could elaborate on what I am missing I would be very thankful.

    I left a comment with my evaluation of the question, and voted to close. The question was later considerably improved, and I deleted my critical comment as no longer applicable, but forgot to undo my vote to close (actually, I'm not entirely sure it's possible to retract a vote). Perhaps it should be reopened.

    Retracting a vote is not possible (AFAIK). I voted to reopen.

    Thank you Prof. Myerson. I noticed you took the trouble to proofread and edit my question too. As a non native speaker of the language I end up making some obvious grammatical mistakes. It really helps me to improve when someone points out these mistakes.

    The question is much improved. I missed the boat on doing so, but I would have voted to reopen as well. And I just voted it up.
