arXiv:2605.23449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Variational autoencoders (VAEs) often struggle to represent non-commutative structure in learned latent spaces. Symmetry-aware VAEs commonly address this issue by enforcing commutativity through algebraic regularization, which is appropriate for commutative transformation groups but can suppress meaningful non-commutative structure when it is intrinsic to the data. We argue that non-commutativity should instead be explicitly diagnosed and reflected in reconstruction behavior. We introduce a Lie Group VAE framework that combines geometric and alge
