arXiv:2505.22973v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models represent the state-of-the-art for solving inverse problems such as image restoration tasks. Diffusion-based inverse solvers incorporate a likelihood term to guide prior sampling, generating data consistent with the posterior distribution. However, due to the intractability of the likelihood, most methods rely on isotropic Gaussian approximations, which can push estimates off the data manifold and produce inconsistent, poor reconstructions. We propose Equivariance Regularized (EquiReg) diffusion, a general plug-in framework that improves posterior sampling by penalizing trajectories that deviate from the data manifold. EquiReg formalizes manifold-preferential equivariant functions that exhibit low equivariance error for on-manifold samples and high error for off-manifold ones, thereby guiding sampling toward symmetry-preserving regions of the solution space. We highlight that such functions naturally emerge when training non-equivariant models with augmentation or on data with symmetries. EquiReg's largest gains are under reduced sampling and measurement consistency steps, where many methods suffer severe quality degradation. By regularizing trajectories toward the manifold, EquiReg implicitly accelerates convergence and enables high-quality reconstructions. EquiReg consistently improves performance in linear and nonlinear image restoration tasks and solving partial differential equations. Our code is available at https://github.com/Anima-Lab/EquiReg
