mHC-GNN: Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections for Graph Neural Networks

arXiv:2601. 02451v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) suffer from over-smoothing in deep architectures and expressiveness bounded by the 1-Weisfeiler-Leman (1-WL) test.

Capacity-Controlled Global Attention for Graph Transformers

arXiv:2604. 17324v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Global self-attention drives modern graph transformers, yet the softmax at its core imposes a structural constraint rarely examined directly: every attention row is non-negative and sums to one, so each per-head output is a mass-conserving convex combination of value vectors.

Rank Collapse, Fixed Points, and the Renormalization Group Structure of MLP Residual Networks

arXiv:2606. 10324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The analogy between deep neural network forward passes and renormalization group (RG) flows has been repeatedly noted in the literature, but existing treatments remain qualitative: depth is described as a coarse-graining scale, attention is likened to a partition function, and representations are said to flow toward fixed points.

From Diffusion to Reaction-Diffusion: A Dynamical-Systems View of Oversmoothing in Hypergraph Neural Networks

arXiv:2607. 15773v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Higher-order couplings enhance the expressive power of hypergraph neural networks (HGNNs), but they also intensify representation collapse in deep propagation due to strong multi-way feature mixing.
