At every point R0 on the manifold SO(3) we construct a continuous, differentiable mapping between a neighborhood of R0on the manifold and an open set in R3 where The objective (energy) function can be expanded to quadratic order about R0 and the conjugate gradient incremental step is
Computationally efficient algorithm because of the special relationship between SO(3) and the group of unit quaternions Sp(1) Updated rotation is obtained by quaternion multiplication q0qs. The other source of efficiency comes from working at the coarser level: there are only three variables (one rotation matrix) per coarse grained site.

Coarse grain to atomistic mapping Optimized library structure from a simulated annealing atomistic MD run One molecule of dodecane Anticipate performing the inverse mapping at each coarse grain time step. The SO(3) conjugate gradient method should be efficient this way because each subsequent time step is close to optimized. Minimize over SO(3) with fixed center of mass
C H H H H C C H H liquid Energy function consists of: • 1 bond, 4 bends, 4 torsions, and 4 one-fours per “join” between intramolecular CG sites • All L-J repulsions between H atoms Taken directly from the CHARMM force field 20 dodecane molecules shown in a box of 1050 molecules (bulk density = 0.74 g/mL)
Single snapshot – fully converged Calculate the fully atomistic CHARMM energy on the SO(3) converged structure From the equipartition theorem, expect to have ½ kT energy per degree of freedom: Bonds T = 294 K Bends T = 1125 K Torsions T = 75 K One-fours T = 97 K
100 consecutive CG frames with incremental updating Very fine convergence tolerance Final structure equipartition estimate: Bonds T = 316 K Bends T = 1002 K Torsions T = 79 K One-fours T = 247 K
Conclusions • The coarse grained to atomistic mapping algorithm presented here uses SO(3) optimization to align optimized molecular fragments corresponding to coarse grained sites • The algorithm’s efficiency comes from using quaternion arithmetic and from optimizing at the coarse grained level • The mapping algorithm will play an important role in multiscale simulations and in the development and validation of coarse grained force fields.

1) 2) • Is an old idea from colloid science : Hammaker summation • My contribution : Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 228301 (2005) and J. Chem. Phys. 123, 124907 (2005) Fundamental idea: two non-interacting particles The probability density and the potential are related by [normalization convention follows g(r)]
Two interacting particles doesn’t involve the surface. Can be obtained from liquid simulations. The probability of the center of mass being at height z is given by: where the normalization constant is the numerator with U = 0, namely with no surface.
