Conditional Clifford-Steerable CNNs for PDE Modeling

We introduce Conditional Clifford-Steerable CNNs (C-CSCNNs), a unified framework that incorporates equivariance to arbitrary pseudo-Euclidean groups and significantly improves the expressivity of standard CSCNNs. We show that the kernel basis of the standard formulation is incomplete, limiting model capacity. To address this, we augment the kernels with equivariant representations of the input feature field. We derive the equivariance constraint for these input-dependent kernels and show how it can be solved efficiently via implicit parameterization. We empirically validate on multiple PDE forecasting tasks, including fluid dynamics and relativistic electrodynamics, where our method consistently outperforms standard CSCNNs and performs on par with state-of-the-art baselines.
