Description

For general MPNN as CGCNN and Schnet, crystal graph as multi-graph is invariant under different supercell. I wonder if Graphormer can achieve the same invariance. More specifically, will the results of a unit cell input structure and a supercell structure of Graphormer keep the same? I don't think it achieve pbc invariance as the graph is changed for different supercell. I'm surprised that Graphormer can performs excellent not only molecules but also crystals! Thanks.

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating Graphormer's crystal-structure data and graph construction paths, then compare outputs for unit-cell and supercell inputs; done means establishing whether periodic-boundary invariance holds or defining the required change.
