We consider convolution equations of the type f * T = g where f, g are in
L^p(R^n) and T is a compactly supported distribution. Under natural assumptions
on the zero set of the Fourier transform of T we show that f is compactly
supported, provided g is. Similar results are proved for non compact symmetric
spaces as well.
If $f$ is a compactly supported function on the Heisenberg group and the
group Fourier transform $\hat{f}(\lambda)$ is a finite rank operator for all
$\lambda$ then $f$ is the zero function.
