arXiv:2605.26900v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A fundamental open question in self-supervised learning (SSL) is the explicit characterization of the optimal geometry of the learned representations. Recently, LeJEPA identified isotropic Gaussian embeddings as optimal for minimizing downstream prediction risk in Euclidean spaces. However, the corresponding problem for distributions supported on lower-dimensional manifolds, such as the hypersphere, remains unexplored. In this work, we demonstrate that extending this minimax analysis to smooth distributions on Riemannian manifolds fundamentally c
