Sampling Triangulations and Calabi-Yau Threefolds with Autoregressive GNNs

arXiv:2605.27770v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce `dualGNN', an autoregressive message-passing GNN for sampling fine, regular triangulations (FRTs) of convex polytopes. dualGNN operates on a generalization of the dual graph of a triangulation, with edges labeled by `signed circuits' -- combinatorial invariants from oriented matroid theory which we show are both necessary and sufficient for exposing regularity. The model is independent of the number of points in the polytope and invariant under the polytope's orientation-preserving symmetries ($\mathrm{SL}(d,\mathbb{Z}) \ltimes \ma
