Tangent Bundle Filters and Neural Networks: from Manifolds to Cellular Sheaves and Back
In this work we introduce a convolution operation over the tangent bundle of Riemannian manifolds exploiting the Connection Laplacian operator. We use the convolution to define tangent bundle filters and tangent bundle neural networks (TNNs), novel continuous architectures operating on tangent bundle signals, i.e. vector fields over manifolds. We discretize TNNs both in space and time domains, showing that their discrete counterpart is a principled variant of the recently introduced Sheaf Neural Networks. We formally prove that this discrete architecture converges to the underlying continuous TNN. We numerically evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture on a denoising task of a tangent vector field over the unit 2-sphere.

Tangent Bundle Convolutional Learning: from Manifolds to Cellular Sheaves and Back
In this work we introduce a convolution operation over the tangent bundle of Riemann manifolds in terms of exponentials of the Connection Laplacian operator. We define tangent bundle filters and tangent bundle neural net…
Consistent Geometric Deep Learning via Hilbert Bundles and Cellular Sheaves
Modern deep learning architectures increasingly contend with sophisticated signals that are natively infinite-dimensional, such as time series, probability distributions, or operators, and are defined over irregular doma…
Riemannian Geometry with differentiable ambient space and metric operator
We show Riemannian geometry could be studied by identifying the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ with a subbundle of the trivial bundle $\mathcal{M} \times \mathcal{E}$, obtained by embedding $\mathc…
Embedding Riemannian Manifolds by the Heat Kernel of the Connection Laplacian
Given a class of closed Riemannian manifolds with prescribed geometric conditions, we introduce an embedding of the manifolds into $\ell^2$ based on the heat kernel of the Connection Laplacian associated with the Levi-Ci…
Complex Functional Maps : a Conformal Link Between Tangent Bundles
In this paper, we introduce complex functional maps, which extend the functional map framework to conformal maps between tangent vector fields on surfaces. A key property of these maps is their orientation awareness. Mor…
