Automatic continuity of Polynomial maps and cocycles

Abstract: By classical theorems of Steinhaus and Weil, any Haar-measurable homomorphism between locally compact groups is continuous. In particular, any Lebesgue-measurable homomorphism

p h i : m a t h b b R o m a t h b b R

is of the form

p h i (x) = a x

for some

a i n m a t h b b R

. In this short note, we prove that any Lebesgue measurable function

p h i : m a t h b b R o m a t h b b R

that vanishes under any

d + 1

derivatives is a polynomial of degree at most

d

. More generally, we prove the continuity of any Haar-measurable polynomial map between locally compact groups, in the sense of Leibman. We deduce the above result as a direct consequence of a theorem about the automatic continuity of cocycles.
