• Abstract summary: We survey the mathematical foundations of geometric deep learning, focusing on group equivariant and gauge equivariant neural networks. We develop gauge equivariant convolutional neural networks on arbitrary manifold $mathcalM$ using principal bundles with structure group $K$ and equivariant maps between sections of associated vector bundles. We analyze several applications of this formalism, including semantic segmentation and object detection networks.

• Abstract: We survey the mathematical foundations of geometric deep learning, focusing on group equivariant and gauge equivariant neural networks. We develop gauge equivariant convolutional neural networks on arbitrary manifolds $\mathcal{M}$ using principal bundles with structure group $K$ and equivariant maps between sections of associated vector bundles. We also discuss group equivariant neural networks for homogeneous spaces $\mathcal{M}=G/K$, which are instead equivariant with respect to the global symmetry $G$ on $\mathcal{M}$. Group equivariant layers can be interpreted as intertwiners between induced representations of $G$, and we show their relation to gauge equivariant convolutional layers. We analyze several applications of this formalism, including semantic segmentation and object detection networks. We also discuss the case of spherical networks in great detail, corresponding to the case $\mathcal{M}=S^2=\mathrm{SO}(3)/\mathrm{SO}(2)$. Here we emphasize the use of Fourier analysis involving Wigner matrices, spherical harmonics and Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for $G=\mathrm{SO}(3)$, illustrating the power of representation theory for deep learning.

  This paper proposes an equivariant neural network that takes data in any semi-simple Lie algebra as input. The corresponding group acts on the Lie algebra as adjoint operations, making our proposed network adjoint-equivariant. Our framework generalizes the Vector Neurons, a simple $mathrmSO(3)$-equivariant network, from 3-D Euclidean space to Lie algebra spaces.

  A wide range of techniques have been proposed in recent years for designing neural networks for 3D data that are equivariant under rotation and translation of the input. We provide an in-depth analysis of both methods and their equivalence and relate the two constructions to multiview convolutional networks. We also derive new TFN non-linearities from our equivalence principle and test them on practical benchmark datasets.
