EqGINO: Equivariant Geometry-Informed Fourier Neural Operators for 3D PDEs

arXiv:2606.03260v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning surrogates for 3D Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) often fail to generalize across geometric transformations because they depend heavily on specific coordinate systems. While equivariant networks offer a solution, they typically rely on local operations in the spatial domain, making the global receptive field, which is essential for PDE dynamics, computationally expensive. Conversely, Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs) efficiently capture global interactions, yet establishing 3D equivariance within them remains impractical due to
