Learning Symmetries of Classical Integrable Systems
This work addresses the challenge of applying neural transformations to physics problems with structural constraints, though it appears incremental as it adapts existing methods to a specific domain.
The authors tackled the problem of learning symmetries in Hamiltonian mechanical systems by developing neural network architectures that preserve symplectic structure, enabling the learning of integrable models.
The solution of problems in physics is often facilitated by a change of variables. In this work we present neural transformations to learn symmetries of Hamiltonian mechanical systems. Maintaining the Hamiltonian structure requires novel network architectures that parametrize symplectic transformations. We demonstrate the utility of these architectures by learning the structure of integrable models. Our work exemplifies the adaptation of neural transformations to a family constrained by more than the condition of invertibility, which we expect to be a common feature of applications of these methods.
