Learning Metastable Dynamics

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 13, 2026 · UTC

Metastability---a phenomenon where systems remain trapped in quasi-stable states before abruptly transitioning under rare perturbations---is ubiquitous in physical systems. Although metastability is a widely observed phenomenon, its identification and analysis present significant challenges. To address these challenges, we propose a novel framework for analyzing metastability using Koopman theory. We use a finite set of system trajectories to learn a representation of the dynamics that defines a latent space in which the system evolves linearly, thereby enabling a systematic characterization o
