New research identifies geometry-physics confounding in PDE learning

A new research paper identifies a problem called "geometry-physics confounding" that affects the learning of partial differential equations (PDEs) across different domains. This confounding occurs when variations in geometry alter both the representation of fields and the governing differential operators, making it difficult for models to distinguish between geometric effects and intrinsic physical properties. The paper proposes a framework to address this by making the known geometry-to-operator transformation explicit, which improves prediction accuracy and data efficiency in operator learning benchmarks.
