How the Optimizer Shapes Learned Solutions in Equivariant Neural Networks

arXiv:2605.27662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Equivariant neural networks encode geometric symmetries by construction, yet they are often difficult to optimize and can underperform less constrained architectures. A growing body of work addresses this through architectural modifications such as constraint relaxation or approximate equivariance, while the role of the optimizer remains comparatively underexplored. We study this direction by comparing Muon and Adam across several equivariant and geometric architectures under pointcloud and molecular learning settings. On ModelNet40, where the co
