Researchers have developed a new index-theoretic criterion to address the problem of oversmoothing in Sheaf Neural Networks (SNNs). While previous methods used the dimension of the harmonic space ($\ker\mathcal{L}$) as an indicator of anti-oversmoothing capacity, this new approach offers a more precise, relative, and geometric characterization. The criterion helps distinguish between genuine anti-oversmoothing capacity and mere inflation of the harmonic space dimension. Experiments with ten models, including a novel GyroSheaf, validate the criterion by showing that compliant models maintain stable representations while non-compliant ones collapse. AI
