Abstract
We prove that the Hypergraph Neural Network, an invariant architecture with 3-body message passing, is a universal approximator for potential energy surfaces. Our main contribution is a multi-layer completeness theory. We show that $L$ layers of message passing on sparse, cutoff-based graphs achieve the same representational power as having access to the full $L$-hop neighborhood, provided the configurations are generic, satisfy an overlap condition and a connectivity condition. This provides the first rigorous justification for the common practice of using multi-layer message passing with a per-layer cutoff smaller than the physical interaction range, the setting used by virtually all practical graph neural network based machine-learned interatomic potentials. As immediate consequences, we show that both DPA3 and CHGNet architectures inherit universal approximation.
