SIRSi-Vaccine dynamical model for Covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), or Covid-19, burst into a pandemic in the beginning of 2020. An unprecedented worldwide effort involving academic institutions, regulatory agencies and industry is facing the challenges imposed by the rapidly spreading disease. Emergency use authorization for vaccines were granted in the beginning of December 2020 in Europe and nine days later in the United States. The urge for vaccination started a race, forcing governs and health care agencies to take decisions on the fly regarding the vaccination strategy and logistics. So far, the vaccination strategies and non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as social distancing and the use of face masks, are the only efficient actions to stop the pandemic. In this context, it is of fundamental importance to understand the dynamical behavior of the Covid-19 spread along with possible vaccination strategies. In this work a Susceptible - Infected - Removed - Sick with vaccination (SIRSi-Vaccine) model is proposed. In addtion, the SIRSi-Vaccine model also accounts for unreported, or asymptomatic, cases and the possibility of temporary immunity, either after infection or vaccination. Disease free and endemic equilibrium points existence conditions are determined in the (! ? ?) vaccine-effort and social distancing parameter space. The model is adjusted to the data from São Paulo, Santos and Campinas, three major cities in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Effective equidistribution of orbits under semisimple groups on congruence quotients

We prove an effective equidistribution result for periodic orbits of semisimple groups on congruence quotients of an ambient semisimple group.This extends a previous work of Einsiedler, Margulis and Venkatesh. The main new feature is that we allow for periodic orbits of semisimple groups with nontrivial centralizer in the ambient group. Our proof uses crucially an effective closing lemma from work of the author with Lindenstrauss, Margulis,Mohammadi, and Shah.

Generalized entropy of measure-induced maps

A classical result by E. Glasner and B. Weiss states that the topological entropy of a map $f$ is zero if and only if the topological entropy of its measure-induced map $f_*$ is zero, where $f_*$ is defined as the push-forward of a measure. In this work, we use generalized entropy to distinguish the complexity of these maps and prove that the measure-induced map is much more complex than the original map. Moreover, we introduce the generalized mean dimension, an invariant that is useful for distinguishing dynamical systems with zero mean dimension, including those with the small-boundary property, and we show a relationship between this new invariant and generalized entropy.

The endpoint problem for $\varepsilon$-hypercyclicity

For a fixed $0<\varepsilon<1$, F. Bayart asked in 2024 whether there exists an operator $T$ such that, for every $0<δ<1$, $T$ is $δ$-hypercyclic if and only if $δ\in[\varepsilon,1)$. We answer this question affirmatively by constructing a weighted backward shift on $\ell_2(\mathbb N_0,\ell_2(\mathbb N_0))$ with this property.
