• Abstract: We develop a complete theory of projective cross-ratios in n-dimensional Plane-Based Geometric Algebra (PGA), R(n,0,1), covering geometric objects of every grade: finite and ideal points, hyperplanes, and intermediate flats. For each object type and configuration, we establish an explicit cross-ratio formula, prove that it recovers the appropriate classical invariant, and identify the canonical pairwise measurement operator. A systematic duality analysis further revealed that all eight configurations organize into four dual pairs under the Hodge dual, and that all measurement operators reduce to either the commutator or the commutator dual, depending solely on the geometric configuration rather than on object grade. In each case the formula recovers the appropriate classical invariant: signed distance ratios for parallel configurations and sine cross-ratios for secant ones. These results establish the cross-ratio as a grade-agnostic projective invariant within PGA, and provide a constructive foundation for defining n-dimensional homographies directly from prescribed invariants.

• Coordinate Independent Convolutional Networks -- Isometry and Gauge Equivariant Convolutions on Riemannian Manifolds [70.32518963244466]
  A major complication in comparison to flat spaces is that it is unclear in which alignment a convolution kernel should be applied on a manifold. We argue that the particular choice of coordinatization should not affect a network's inference -- it should be coordinate independent. A simultaneous demand for coordinate independence and weight sharing is shown to result in a requirement on the network to be equivariant.

  A common approach to define convolutions on meshes is to interpret them as a graph and apply graph convolutional networks (GCNs) We propose Gauge Equivariant Mesh CNNs which generalize GCNs to apply anisotropic gauge equivariant kernels. Our experiments validate the significantly improved expressivity of the proposed model over conventional GCNs and other methods.
