Wolbachia invasion to wild mosquito population in stochastic environment

Abstract

Releasing sterile Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes to invade wild mosquito population is a method of mosquito control. In this paper, a stochastic mosquito population model with Wolbachia invasion perturbed by environmental fluctuation is studied. Firstly, well-posedness, positivity and Markov-Feller property of solution for this model are proved. Then a group of sharp threshold-type conditions is provided to characterize the long-term behavior of the model, which pinpoints the almost necessary and sufficient conditions for persistence and extinction of Wolbachia-infected and uninfected mosquito populations. Especially, our results indicates that even the initial Wolbachia infection frequency is low, the Wolbachia invasion into wild mosquito population can be promoted by stochastic environmental fluctuations. Finally, some numerical experiments are carried out to support our theoretical results.

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.
