A vanishing theorem on fake projective planes with enough automorphisms

For every fake projective plane $X$ with automorphism group of order 21, we prove that $H^i(X, 2L)=0$ for all $i$ and for every ample line bundle $L$ with $L^2=1$. For every fake projective plane with automorphism group of order 9, we prove the same vanishing for every cubic root (and its twist by a 2-torsion) of the canonical bundle $K$. As an immediate consequence, there are exceptional sequences of length 3 on such fake projective planes.
