AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
cuequivariance provides a framework for handling group theory and equivariant tensor products in Python. It enables the definition of irreducible representations (irreps) for Lie groups like SO3, O3, and SU2, or custom groups, and facilitates the construction of equivariant polynomials. The library uses segmented tensor products to manage contractions across varying shapes, supporting both dense EquivariantPolynomials and dictionary-based IrDictPolynomials for structured data.
What it does
- Defines irreducible representations (irreps) for standard and custom Lie groups.
- Builds equivariant tensor products using segmented tensor product abstractions.
- Supports custom group definitions including selection rules and Clebsch-Gordan coefficients.
- Provides high-level descriptors for common operations like spherical harmonics and symmetric contractions.
- Manages memory layout and irrep metadata for efficient NumPy-based evaluation.
- Normalizes path coefficients to ensure numerical stability in tensor contractions.
When to use it
- When building equivariant neural network layers or mathematical models requiring group symmetry.
- When you need to define custom symmetry groups and their associated representation algebra.
- When performing tensor contractions that must respect specific group-theoretic selection rules.
- When prototyping equivariant operations on CPU using NumPy before moving to framework-specific backends.
Advantages
- Strict adherence to group-theoretic principles for robust equivariant modeling.
- Flexible support for both standard (SO3, O3, SU2) and user-defined symmetry groups.
- Efficient handling of segmented data structures and irrep-based layouts.
- Provides clear abstractions for complex tensor contractions via Einstein notation.
Usage examples
- “How do I define a custom Z2 group with parity-based selection rules?”
- Subclass cue.Irrep, implement the required methods including __mul__ for selection rules, clebsch_gordan for coefficients, and discrete_generators for symmetry.
- “How can I create a linear equivariant map between two sets of irreps?”
- Use cue.descriptors.linear(irreps_in, irreps_out) to generate an EquivariantPolynomial that handles the weight-input contraction automatically.
- “How do I evaluate a tensor product using dictionary-based irrep inputs?”
- Use the _ir_dict variants of descriptors, such as channelwise_tensor_product_ir_dict, and pass operands as dictionaries split by irrep.

Documentation by Mario Geiger
cuequivariance: Groups, Irreps, and Segmented Polynomials
Purpose
cuequivariance (imported as cue) provides two core abstractions:
Group theory:
Irrepsubclasses define irreducible representations of Lie groups (SO3, O3, SU2, or custom).Irrepsmanages collections with multiplicities.Segmented polynomials:
SegmentedTensorProductdescribes tensor contractions over segments of varying shape, linked byPathobjects carrying Clebsch-Gordan coefficients.SegmentedPolynomialwraps multiple STPs into a polynomial with named inputs/outputs. Two higher-level wrappers attach group representations:EquivariantPolynomial— dense operands withIrrepsAndLayoutmetadataIrDictPolynomial— operands already split by irrep, with per-groupIrrepsmetadata for thedict[Irrep, Array]workflow
Inputs
Required inputs: requested operation, group, input irreps and multiplicities, output irrep types, layout, batch shapes, dtype, and weight ownership. Take explicit user requirements first, then existing project definitions; state defaults for unspecified values. Derive operand sizes and output block order from the descriptor. For custom groups, also establish the selection rules, generators, and Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. Optional inputs include test rotations and a framework backend.
Prerequisites
Use Python 3.10+ with cuequivariance and its NumPy, SciPy, opt_einsum, SymPy, and NetworkX dependencies. Reuse the project's interpreter and lockfile. If setup is needed outside an existing project, the bundled CPU requirements pin the source revision used by these examples; install them with that interpreter's pip. Core NumPy execution requires no GPU stack or API credentials. Check the installed version and API availability before using IrDictPolynomial with an older package.
Instructions
Check the installed version and requested backend. Install
cuequivariancefor CPU NumPy work; JAX and PyTorch execution use the separatecuequivariance-jaxandcuequivariance-torchskills. Inspect available APIs before using newer features such asIrDictPolynomialin an older environment.Establish the group, input irreps, multiplicities, layout, and batch shapes before building a descriptor. Preserve the descriptor's actual output block order; a regrouped irrep summary does not reorder its output array.
Prefer a built-in descriptor. For a custom group, validate parsing, group relations, selection rules, and Clebsch-Gordan covariance on CPU first. Complex mathematical representations do not imply complex CUDA support.
Execute a small deterministic NumPy example and check shapes and equivariance.
IrDictPolynomialcarries metadata; execute its.polynomialwith operands split according to.input_irrepsand.output_irreps, including weights first when present.Convert
mul_irandir_mulby transposing the multiplicity and representation axes within each irrep block. A flat reshape alone changes the represented features.
Source paths below are relative to the cuequivariance/ project inside a source checkout. When using this skill separately, inspect the installed package with cue.__file__ or consult https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuEquivariance. The repository is not required for the examples.
Limitations
Core descriptors and NumPy evaluation do not provide JAX or PyTorch execution kernels; use the corresponding frontend for framework execution and gradients.
Custom-group mathematics must be checked independently. A valid complex representation does not establish support in a particular CUDA kernel.
IrDictPolynomialdescribes split operands; it does not convert high-level dictionaries into the ordered arrays accepted by its underlying polynomial. Preserve the descriptor's metadata and layout when assembling those arrays.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Check and correction |
|---|---|
| Import fails or an API is absent | Check the interpreter, installed version, and module location. Use the project's compatible dependencies or the bundled requirements when setting up a standalone environment. |
| Operand size or output shape is wrong | Compare each array with the descriptor's input/output dimensions; include the weights operand first when present. |
| Values disagree after a layout conversion | Transpose multiplicity and representation axes within each irrep block before flattening; keep output data in the descriptor's block order. |
| Custom-group equivariance fails | Check selection rules, generator relations, and CG covariance on a small NumPy example before changing execution backends. |
Examples
The examples below cover custom groups, descriptors, layouts, and NumPy execution. Some snippets extend variables from the preceding snippet; the final complete example can be run independently.
Defining a custom group
Subclass cue.Irrep (a frozen dataclass) and implement:
from __future__ import annotations

import cuequivariance as cue
@dataclasses.dataclass(frozen=True)
class Z2(cue.Irrep):

# No __init__ needed -- @dataclass(frozen=True) generates it: Z2(odd=True)
@classmethod
def regexp_pattern(cls) -> re.Pattern:
# Pattern whose first group is passed to from_string
return re.compile(r"(odd|even)")
@classmethod

return cls(odd=string == "odd")
def __repr__(rep: Z2) -> str:

return np.array([[[[1]]]])
else:
return np.zeros((0, 1, 1, 1))
@property
def dim(rep: Z2) -> int:
return 1
def __lt__(rep1: Z2, rep2: Z2) -> bool:

def algebra(self) -> np.ndarray:

Built-in groups
cue.SO3(l): 3D rotations.lis a non-negative integer.dim = 2l+1. String:"0","1","2".cue.O3(l, p): 3D rotations + parity.p=+1(even) orp=-1(odd). String:"0e","1o","2e".cue.SU2(j): Spin group.jis a non-negative half-integer. String:"0","1/2","1".
Irreps and layout
irreps = cue.Irreps("SO3", "16x0 + 4x1 + 2x2") # 16 scalars, 4 vectors, 2 rank-2
irreps.dim # 16*1 + 4*3 + 2*5 = 38
for mul, ir in irreps:
print(mul, ir, ir.dim) # 16 0 1, then 4 1 3, then 2 2 5IrrepsLayout controls memory order within each (mul, ir) block:
cue.ir_mul: data ordered as(ir.dim, mul)— used by all descriptors and ir_dict internallycue.mul_ir: data ordered as(mul, ir.dim)— used by nnxdict[Irrep, Array]and PyTorch
IrrepsAndLayout combines irreps with a layout into a Rep:
rep = cue.IrrepsAndLayout(cue.Irreps("SO3", "4x0 + 2x1"), cue.ir_mul)
rep.dim # 10Building a SegmentedTensorProduct from scratch
The subscripts string uses Einstein notation. Operands are comma-separated, coefficient modes follow +.
# Matrix-vector multiply: y_i = sum_j M_ij * x_j
d = cue.SegmentedTensorProduct.from_subscripts("ij,j,i")
d.add_segment(0, (3, 4)) # operand 0: matrix segment of shape (3, 4)
d.add_segment(1, (4,)) # operand 1: vector of size 4
d.add_segment(2, (3,)) # operand 2: output vector of size 3
d.add_path(0, 0, 0, c=1.0) # link segments 0,0,0 with coefficient=1.0
poly = cue.SegmentedPolynomial.eval_last_operand(d) # last operand becomes output
[y] = poly(M_flat, x) # numpy evaluationMulti-segment STP (how descriptors work internally)
Descriptors build STPs with multiple segments per operand. Each segment corresponds to an irrep block:
# Linear equivariant map: output[iv] = sum_u weight[uv] * input[iu]
d = cue.SegmentedTensorProduct.from_subscripts("uv,iu,iv")
# Segment for l=1: ir_dim=3, mul_in=2, mul_out=5
s_in_0 = d.add_segment(1, (3, 2)) # input block
s_out_0 = d.add_segment(2, (3, 5)) # output block
d.add_path((2, 5), s_in_0, s_out_0, c=1.0)
# Segment for l=0: ir_dim=1, mul_in=4, mul_out=3
s_in_1 = d.add_segment(1, (1, 4))
s_out_1 = d.add_segment(2, (1, 3))
d.add_path((4, 3), s_in_1, s_out_1, c=1.0)Weights operand
For weighted tensor products (subscript starting with uvw or uv), the first operand is always weights. The weight segment shape is (mul_1, mul_2, ...) matching the multiplicity modes. The weights operand gets new_scalars() irreps since weights are invariant.
CG coefficients as path coefficients
d = cue.SegmentedTensorProduct.from_subscripts("uvw,iu,jv,kw+ijk")
# For each pair of input irreps and each output irrep in the selection rule:
for cg in cue.clebsch_gordan(ir1, ir2, ir3):
# cg has shape (ir1.dim, ir2.dim, ir3.dim)
d.add_path((mul1, mul2, mul3), seg_in1, seg_in2, seg_out, c=cg)Descriptors
All descriptors come in two variants:
Original — returns
EquivariantPolynomialwith dense operands_ir_dict— returnsIrDictPolynomialwith operands already split by irrep
EquivariantPolynomial descriptors
# Fully connected tensor product (all input-output irrep combinations)
e = cue.descriptors.fully_connected_tensor_product(
16 * cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1 + 2"),
16 * cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1 + 2"),
16 * cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1 + 2"),
)
# Channelwise tensor product (same-channel only, sparse)
e = cue.descriptors.channelwise_tensor_product(
64 * cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1"), cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1"),
cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1"), simplify_irreps3=True,
)
# Full (weightless) tensor product
e = cue.descriptors.full_tensor_product(
cue.Irreps("SO3", "2x0 + 1x1"), cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1"),
)
# Elementwise tensor product (paired channels)
e = cue.descriptors.elementwise_tensor_product(
cue.Irreps("SO3", "4x0 + 4x1"), cue.Irreps("SO3", "4x0 + 4x1"),
)
# Linear equivariant map (weight x input)
e = cue.descriptors.linear(
cue.Irreps("SO3", "4x0 + 2x1"),
cue.Irreps("SO3", "3x0 + 5x1"),
)
# Spherical harmonics
e = cue.descriptors.spherical_harmonics(cue.SO3(1), [0, 1, 2, 3])
# Symmetric contraction (MACE-style)
e = cue.descriptors.symmetric_contraction(
64 * cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1 + 2"),
64 * cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1"),
(1, 2, 3),
)IrDictPolynomial descriptors
Each _ir_dict constructor returns an IrDictPolynomial: .polynomial is a SegmentedPolynomial already split by irrep, and .input_irreps / .output_irreps describe the operand groups. Each (mul, ir) block in those groups corresponds to one polynomial operand of size mul * ir.dim.
channelwise_tensor_product_ir_dict always simplifies output irreps. To compare
with its dense counterpart, pass simplify_irreps3=True to
channelwise_tensor_product, or explicitly regroup the output data as well
as its irrep metadata. The third argument filters irrep types; it does not set
output multiplicities.
# Channelwise tensor product
desc = cue.descriptors.channelwise_tensor_product_ir_dict(
64 * cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1"),
cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1"),
cue.Irreps("SO3", "0 + 1"),
)
desc.polynomial # SegmentedPolynomial
desc.input_irreps # (weight_irreps, irreps1, irreps2)
desc.output_irreps # (irreps_out,)
# Scale coefficients and inspect individual input operands
scaled_poly = desc.polynomial * 0.5
for i, op in enumerate(desc.polynomial.inputs):
print(f"Input {i}: size={op.size}, num_segments={op.num_segments}")Other constructors use the same operand metadata contract:
# Fully connected tensor product
desc = cue.descriptors.fully_connected_tensor_product_ir_dict(irreps1, irreps2, irreps3)
# Full (weightless) tensor product
desc = cue.descriptors.full_tensor_product_ir_dict(irreps1, irreps2)
# Elementwise tensor product
desc = cue.descriptors.elementwise_tensor_product_ir_dict(irreps1, irreps2)
# Linear
desc = cue.descriptors.linear_ir_dict(irreps_in, irreps_out)
# Spherical harmonics
desc = cue.descriptors.spherical_harmonics_ir_dict(cue.O3(1, -1), [0, 1, 2, 3])
# Symmetric contraction
desc = cue.descriptors.symmetric_contraction_ir_dict(irreps_in, irreps_out, (1, 2, 3))split_polynomial_by_irreps
Use this helper to split an existing SegmentedPolynomial operand at irrep boundaries. Supply the operand's irreps explicitly because the bare polynomial has no representation metadata:
poly = e.polynomial # from an EquivariantPolynomial
poly = cue.split_polynomial_by_irreps(poly, 2, irreps_sh) # split input 2
poly = cue.split_polynomial_by_irreps(poly, 1, irreps_in) # split input 1
poly = cue.split_polynomial_by_irreps(poly, -1, irreps_out) # split outputEquivariantPolynomial key methods
e.inputs # tuple of Rep (group representations for each input)
e.outputs # tuple of Rep
e.polynomial # the underlying SegmentedPolynomial
# Numpy evaluation
[out] = e(weights, input1, input2)
# Preparing for uniform_1d execution (see cuequivariance_jax SKILL.md)
e_ready = e.squeeze_modes().flatten_coefficient_modes()
# Split dense operands using the representation metadata already attached to e
e_split = e.split_operand_by_irrep(1).split_operand_by_irrep(-1)
# Scale all coefficients
e_scaled = e * 0.5
# Fuse compatible STPs
e_fused = e.fuse_stps()normalize_paths_for_operand
Called internally by descriptors. Normalizes path coefficients so that a random input produces unit-variance output for the specified operand. Critical for numerical stability.

poly.num_inputs # number of input operands
poly.num_outputs # number of output operands
poly.inputs # tuple of SegmentedOperand
