• Abstract: Dark modes arise when destructive interference prevents selected bosonic degrees of freedom from coupling to environmental channels. We formulate a Hamiltonian criterion for identifying such modes in multimode bosonic systems by separating two requirements: the candidate mode must be invisible to the direct system--environment coupling, and its generated operator space must remain invariant under the intrinsic system dynamics. For linear environment coupling and quadratic system Hamiltonians, the criterion is reduced to the the familiar null-space and invariant-subspace conditions of passive linear dark-mode theory. We then extend the analysis to nonlinear scenarios. For a two-photon conversion channel coupled to an auxiliary environmental mode, interference among nonlinear conversion pathways can reduce the environment coupling to a single collective two-photon channel, leaving a complementary bosonic mode decoupled from the environment. We show that preserving this mode under nonlinear intrinsic dynamics generally requires more than conventional Kerr-type quartic interactions: correlated four-boson conversion processes are needed to cancel mixed nonlinear conversion between the dark and environment-coupled collective modes. Finally, we show that the Bogoliubov dark mode of a parametrically driven optomechanical satisfies the same Hamiltonian criterion through an active canonical transformation. These results provide a unified Hamiltonian framework for identifying and engineering dark modes in linear, nonlinear, and driven bosonic systems.
