Augment pairwise attention on a set of n tokens with a rigidity operator derived from normalized pairwise directions. The operator couples infinitesimal node displacements through changes in pairwise distances, while the complete-graph theorem provides a geometry-independent eigenvalue target n/2 after spherical centering and normalization.
Use the paper's topology-dependent Laplacian spectral bound to set the diffusion horizon of a graph neural network instead of using a fixed number of message-passing steps for every graph. For genus-g graphs, choose the horizon from the conservative slow-mode timescale n/(Delta g), while separately capping the step size to keep high-frequency modes stable.
Replace an unconstrained bilinear feature interaction with a joint spectral filter that only allows pairs of graph or spherical frequencies satisfying a soft radius constraint. The smooth factor attenuates interactions near and beyond the cutoff instead of making the hard low-pass decision used by ordinary spectral truncation, which should reduce high-frequency aliasing and unstable feature products.
Construct metric-graph Laplacian positional encodings only at frequencies whose empirical eigenvalues are statistically stable under the paper’s $(n v_\mu(h))^{-1/2}$ law. Use local ball-mass estimates and empirical eigengaps to gate or downweight unreliable eigenvectors, preventing small-sample spectral noise from entering a GNN or graph transformer.
Add a spectral regularizer to a learned graph or sparse attention adjacency that penalizes violation of the paper's energy floor. The regularizer discourages adjacency matrices that retain many edges but collapse into a low-dimensional spectral structure, which may reduce graph-message-passing diversity and worsen oversmoothing.
Use the graph Laplacian spectrum to set the mixing and correction coefficients of a two-state graph-propagation block. Balancing the contraction of low-frequency consensus modes against high-frequency disagreement modes may reduce oversmoothing and make deep graph-neural networks less sensitive to manually selected residual coefficients.
Treat a spatial feature map or lattice-indexed embedding as a function on a d-dimensional discrete grid and penalize excessive concentration near a chosen anchor using the inverse-radial Hardy weight. Calibrate the penalty with the theorem's high-dimensional scaling 2^ell d^ell instead of selecting an arbitrary spatial L2 coefficient.
