  • 将分子哈密顿量建模为层化覆叠上的拉普拉斯算子,实现对称性保持
  • 零阶上同调直接对应非键轨道数,与经典结果一致
  • 模型通用性强,适用于共轭分子且具备旋转泛化能力

在局域原子轨道基下,分子单粒子哈密顿量经常数平移变为半正定后,可表示为基于分子构建的正则胞腔复形上的层化覆叠拉普拉斯算子。通过使限制映射为基于键几何的O(3)-可导向双中心核,可恢复Slater-Koster形式,并得到E(3)与置换对称的算子。三个结论:第一,零阶上同调H^0 = ker L为拓扑不变量,等于非键(零模)轨道数,经典交替非键轨道计数为其下界;第二,霍奇1-拉普拉斯算子使高阶胞腔(环)携带环路与离域信息于H^1;第三,该模型严格推广了E(3)-等变消息传递网络和CW网络,继承非平凡覆叠扩散的抗过度平滑特性。我们证明了等变性、表达力及上同调对应性,数值验证显示:哈密顿量到覆叠的嵌入在机器精度内精确,上同调维数在十一类共轭分子中准确重现非键轨道数,覆叠拉普拉斯算子在机器精度内保持O(3)等变性,等变模型在方向性电子目标上误差更低且具有更好旋转泛化能力。贡献在于覆叠理论形式化及其不变量,而非等变哈密顿量预测本身。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Equivariant message-passing networks are the standard model for molecular property and interatomic-potential prediction, and recent work predicts the electronic Hamiltonian itself in an E(3)-equivariant way. Separately, topological deep learning has extended graph networks to cellular sheaves. Our central observation is structural: in a localized atomic-orbital basis, the molecular single-particle Hamiltonian, after a constant shift that makes it positive semidefinite, is the Laplacian of a cellular sheaf on a regular cell complex built from the molecule. Making the restriction maps O(3)-steerable two-center kernels from bond geometry recovers the Slater-Koster form as a special case and yields an E(3)- and permutation-equivariant operator. Three consequences follow. First, the zeroth sheaf cohomology H^0 = ker L is a topological invariant equal to the non-bonding (zero-mode) orbitals, recovering the classical alternant non-bonding-orbital count as a lower bound. Second, the Hodge 1-Laplacian lets higher cells (rings) carry cycle and delocalization information through H^1. Third, the model strictly generalizes E(3)-equivariant message-passing networks and CW networks, and inherits the anti-oversmoothing of non-trivial sheaf diffusion. We prove equivariance, expressivity, and cohomological-correspondence results for the Equivariant Cellular Sheaf Networks, and validate them numerically: the Hamiltonian-to-sheaf embedding is exact to machine precision, the cohomology dimension reproduces non-bonding-orbital counts across eleven conjugated molecules, the sheaf Laplacian is O(3)-equivariant to machine precision, and the equivariant model attains lower error and rotation generalization on a directional electronic target. Our contribution is this sheaf-theoretic formalization and its invariants, not equivariant Hamiltonian prediction itself.
