HamiFormer: Dual-Expert Diffusion Fields with Affine Symplectic Maps

Simulating the long-time evolution of Hamiltonian systems is limited by the small timesteps required for stable numerical integration. To overcome this constraint, we introduce a framework to learn Hamiltonian Flow Maps by predicting the mean phase-space evolution over a chosen time span, enabling stable large-timestep updates far beyond the stability limits of classical integrators. To this end, we impose a Mean Flow consistency condition for time-averaged Hamiltonian dynamics. Unlike prior approaches, this allows training on independent phase-space samples without access to future states, avoiding expensive trajectory generation. Validated across diverse Hamiltonian systems, our method in particular improves upon molecular dynamics simulations using machine-learned force fields (MLFF). Our models maintain comparable training and inference cost, but support significantly larger integration timesteps while trained directly on widely-available trajectory-free MLFF datasets.

Reconstructing continuous state trajectories of chaotic dynamical systems from sparse, noisy observations remains a fundamental open problem in nonlinear science. We introduce the Physics-Informed Diffusion Model with Dormand-Prince Integration (PIDM-DP), which embeds a fully differentiable 5th-order Dormand-Prince (DP-RK45) ODE integrator directly into the reverse sampling loop of a Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM). At each denoising step, physics residuals are back-propagated via automatic differentiation, constraining every generated trajectory to satisfy the system's governing equations to 5th-order accuracy. A linear-scheduled guidance mechanism that ramps the physics weight from zero at high noise levels to its full value near the clean-data limit prevents the gradient explosions that cause naive physics-informed approaches to fail on stiff systems with Jacobian eigenvalues of order $O(10^3)$. Evaluated across five benchmark systems of increasing complexity 3D Lorenz, 3D Rössler, 5D Hyperchaotic, 20D Lorenz-96, and the stiff 3D Rabinovich-Fabrikant at 10% observation density with additive Gaussian noise ($σ=0.05$), PIDM-DP achieves reconstruction RMSE improvements of up to $15.4\times$ over an unconstrained diffusion baseline and decisively outperforms the Ensemble Kalman Filter on stiff systems where ensemble covariance collapses. On the Rabinovich-Fabrikant out-of-distribution benchmark, PIDM-DP attains RMSE $0.1097 \pm 0.0269$ versus $0.9443 \pm 0.5288$ (unconstrained diffusion, $8.6\times$ worse) and $0.3561 \pm 0.3040$ (EnKF, $3.2\times$ worse), with $p<0.001$ in paired Wilcoxon tests ($N = 30$). Topological validation via the Rosenstein Lyapunov estimator confirms that PIDM-DP preserves the chaotic invariant measure.

Learning solution operators for differential equations is a central problem in scientific machine learning. However, many neural operator methods optimize prediction accuracy without explicitly enforcing the geometric structure of the dynamics. Structure-preserving models such as SympNets and Symplectic Neural Flows address this issue for conservative Hamiltonian systems by preserving the symplectic form. In dissipative Hamiltonian systems with conformal symplectic structure, however, the symplectic form evolves according to a conformal factor determined by the dissipation. We propose CoSynFlow, a conformal symplectic neural flow for learning continuous-time solution maps of dissipative Hamiltonian dynamics. CoSynFlow composes symplectic shear maps with explicit conformal scaling, preserving the conformal symplectic structure by construction. By conditioning it on a finite-dimensional Hamiltonian descriptor and the dissipation parameter, a single trained model predicts solution maps for unseen systems without retraining. CoSynFlow keeps the structure error at machine precision, attains the lowest long-horizon error, and admits physics-informed training.
