On twisted microdifferential modules. I: Non-existence of twisted wave equations (Q1769603)

Let \(T\) be a 4-dimensional vector space (complex), \(P\) be the 3-dimensional projective space of lines in \(T\) and \(G\) be the 4-dimensional Grassmannian of 2 planes in \(T\). Put \(M_{(h)}\) for the \(D_G\) modules associated with the massless field equation of helicity \(h\in\frac12\mathbb{Z}\). Then there exists a Penrose correspondence between \(M_{(1+\frac m2)}\) and the \(D_p\) module associated with the line bundle \(O_p(m)\), \(m\in \mathbb{Z}\). It is known that for \(\lambda\in\mathbb{C}^1\), \(O_p(\lambda)\) makes sense in the theory of twisted sheaves. It is proved here that the Penrose correspondence does not extend to the twisted case. Therefore, there are no generalized massless field equations with non-trivial twist on Grassmannians.
