We consider a quantity $\kappa(\Omega)$ -- the distance to the origin from the null variety of the Fourier transform of the characteristic function of $\Omega$. We conjecture, firstly, that $\kappa(\Omega)$ is maximized, among all convex balanced domains $\Omega\subset\Rbb^d$ of a fixed volume, by a ball, and also that $\kappa(\Omega)$ is bounded above by the square root of the second Dirichlet eigenvalue of $\Omega$. We prove some weaker versions of these conjectures in dimension two, as well as their validity for domains asymptotically close to a disk, and also discuss further links between $\kappa(\Omega)$ and the eigenvalues of the Laplacians.
