Abstract

Many geometric learning problems require invariants on heterogeneous product spaces, i.e., products of distinct spaces carrying different group actions, where standard techniques do not directly apply. We show that, when a group GG acts transitively on a space MM, any GG-invariant function on a product space X×MX \times M can be reduced to an invariant of the isotropy subgroup HH of MM acting on XX alone. Our approach establishes an explicit orbit equivalence (X×M)/GX/H(X \times M)/G \cong X/H, yielding a principled reduction that preserves expressivity. We apply this characterization to Equivariant Neural Fields, extending them to arbitrary group actions and homogeneous conditioning spaces, and thereby removing the major structural constraints imposed by existing methods.
