In this very technical paper the authors prove the exactness of the \(k\)-Cauchy-Fueter complex for the Heisenberg group by applying the Penrose transform of Eastwood-Penrose-Wells. Recall that in the original form of the Penrose transform the solution spaces of various massless field (e.g. the Laplace or the generalized Dirac) equations over complexified Minkowski space-time are identified with certain sheaf cohomology groups. The Eastwood-Penrose-Wells transform improves this correspondence by constructing resolutions out of these operators i.e. a chain of linear operators fitting into exact sequences. Exactness can be used more effectively to obtain information on the kernels of the original massless field operators. This technique has then been generalized to other linear operators of geometric origin like the \(k\)-Cauchy-Fueter operators acting between rings of functions from a fixed complex Lie group \(G\) into its modules. Although the corresponding complexes of the \(k\)-Cauchy-Fueter operators are possible to construct, their exactness is not straightforward. The main result of the paper is that for the Heisenberg group the corresponding \(k\)-Cauchy-Fueter complex is exact at its first term for all \(k=0,1,\dots\) (see Theorem 1.1 in the article).
