  • Classical theorems from the early 20th century state that any Haar measurable homomorphism between locally compact groups is continuous. In particular, any Lebesgue-measurable homomorphism $ϕ:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ is of the form $ϕ(x)=ax$ for some $a \in \mathbb{R}$. In this short note, we prove that any Lebesgue measurable function $ϕ:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that vanishes under any $d+1$ ``difference operators'' 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.
