Learning Hamiltonian Dynamics at Scale: A Differential-Geometric Approach

arXiv:2509.24627v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Embedding physical intuition into network architectures allows the learning of dynamics that enforce fundamental properties, such as energy conservation laws, thereby leading to physically-plausible predictions. Yet, scaling these models to high-dimensional dynamical systems remains a significant challenge. This paper introduces Reduced-order Hamiltonian Neural Network (RO-HNN), a novel physics-inspired neural network that combines the conservation laws of Hamiltonian mechanics with the scalability of model order reduction. RO-HNN is built on

Why this matters
Why now

The increased scale and complexity of AI models, especially in physical simulations, necessitate more efficient and physically-grounded learning architectures.

Why it’s important
