We analyze the Forman-Ricci curvature to identify structural patterns indicating information bottlenecks in attention graphs. We then introduce a method that captures both semi-local and global information-flow characteristics of attention heads associated with hallucinated responses. We evaluate our approach extensively across several LLMs and established benchmarks. Empirical results demonstrate that our proposed single-pass approach provides consistent improvements over existing attention-based and multi-response baselines across two hallucination-detection benchmarks, while achieving competitive performance across diverse LLM architectures. Further analysis reveals that impaired context sharing among tokens during causal generation is strongly associated with hallucination occurrences in LLMs. In particular, hallucinated responses are consistently characterized by an over-reliance on self-attention, diffused context retrieval from earlier tokens, or information over-squashing, especially in the final transformer layer.
