Exact closed-form solution of a modified SIR model

The exact analytical solution in closed form of a modified SIR system where recovered individuals are removed from the population is presented. In this dynamical system the populations $S(t)$ and $R(t)$ of susceptible and recovered individuals are found to be generalized logistic functions, while infective ones $I(t)$ are given by a generalized logistic function times an exponential, all of them with the same characteristic time. The dynamics of this modified SIR system is analyzed and the exact computation of some epidemiologically relevant quantities is performed. The main differences between this modified SIR model and original SIR one are presented and explained in terms of the zeroes of their respective conserved quantities. Moreover, it is shown that the modified SIR model with time-dependent transmission rate can be also solved in closed form for certain realistic transmission rate functions.

Hamiltonian structure of compartmental epidemiological models

Any epidemiological compartmental model with constant population is shown to be a Hamiltonian dynamical system in which the total population plays the role of the Hamiltonian function. Moreover, some particular cases within this large class of models are shown to be bi-Hamiltonian. New interacting compartmental models among different populations, which are endowed with a Hamiltonian structure, are introduced. The Poisson structures underlying the Hamiltonian description of all these dynamical systems are explicitly presented, and their associated Casimir functions are shown to provide an efficient tool in order to find exact analytical solutions for epidemiological models, such as the ones describing the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The $κ$-Newtonian and $κ$-Carrollian algebras and their noncommutative spacetimes

We derive the non-relativistic $c\to\infty$ and ultra-relativistic $c\to 0$ limits of the $κ$-deformed symmetries and corresponding spacetime in (3+1) dimensions, with and without a cosmological constant. We apply the theory of Lie bialgebra contractions to the Poisson version of the $κ$-(A)dS quantum algebra, and quantize the resulting contracted Poisson-Hopf algebras, thus giving rise to the $κ$-deformation of the Newtonian (Newton-Hooke and Galilei) and Carrollian (Para-Poincaré, Para-Euclidean and Carroll) quantum symmetries, including their deformed quadratic Casimir operators. The corresponding $κ$-Newtonian and $κ$-Carrollian noncommutative spacetimes are also obtained as the non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic limits of the $κ$-(A)dS noncommutative spacetime. These constructions allow us to analyze the non-trivial interplay between the quantum deformation parameter $κ$, the curvature parameter $η$ and the speed of light parameter $c$.

Quantum groups, non-commutative Lorentzian spacetimes and curved momentum spaces

The essential features of a quantum group deformation of classical symmetries of General Relativity in the case with non-vanishing cosmological constant $Λ$ are presented. We fully describe (anti-)de Sitter non-commutative spacetimes and curved momentum spaces in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions arising from the $κ$-deformed quantum group symmetries. These non-commutative spacetimes are introduced semiclassically by means of a canonical Poisson structure, the Sklyanin bracket, depending on the classical $r$-matrix defining the $κ$-deformation, while curved momentum spaces are defined as orbits generated by the $κ$-dual of the Hopf algebra of quantum symmetries. Throughout this construction we use kinematical coordinates, in terms of which the physical interpretation becomes more transparent, and the cosmological constant $Λ$ is included as an explicit parameter whose $Λ\rightarrow 0$ limit provides the Minkowskian case. The generalization of these results to the physically relevant (3+1)-dimensional deformation is also commented.

The $κ$-(A)dS noncommutative spacetime

The (3+1)-dimensional $κ$-(A)dS noncommutative spacetime is explicitly constructed by quantizing its semiclassical counterpart, which is the $κ$-(A)dS Poisson homogeneous space. This turns out to be the only possible generalization of the well-known $κ$-Minkowski spacetime to the case of non-vanishing cosmological constant, under the condition that the time translation generator of the corresponding quantum (A)dS algebra is primitive. Moreover, the $κ$-(A)dS noncommutative spacetime is shown to have a quadratic subalgebra of local spatial coordinates whose first-order brackets in terms of the cosmological constant parameter define a quantum sphere, while the commutators between time and space coordinates preserve the same structure of the $κ$-Minkowski spacetime. When expressed in ambient coordinates, the quantum $κ$-(A)dS spacetime is shown to be defined as a noncommutative pseudosphere.

Noncommutative spaces of worldlines

The space of time-like geodesics on Minkowski spacetime is constructed as a coset space of the Poincaré group in (3+1) dimensions with respect to the stabilizer of a worldline. When this homogeneous space is endowed with a Poisson homogeneous structure compatible with a given Poisson-Lie Poincaré group, the quantization of this Poisson bracket gives rise to a noncommutative space of worldlines with quantum group invariance. As an oustanding example, the Poisson homogeneous space of worldlines coming from the $κ$-Poincaré deformation is explicitly constructed, and shown to define a symplectic structure on the space of worldlines. Therefore, the quantum space of $κ$-Poincaré worldlines is just the direct product of three Heisenberg-Weyl algebras in which the parameter $κ^{-1}$ plays the very same role as the Planck constant $\hbar$ in quantum mechanics. In this way, noncommutative spaces of worldlines are shown to provide a new suitable and fully explicit arena for the description of quantum observers with quantum group symmetry.

Cayley-Klein Poisson homogeneous spaces

The nine two-dimensional Cayley-Klein geometries are firstly reviewed by following a graded contraction approach. Each geometry is considered as a set of three symmetrical homogeneous spaces (of points and two kinds of lines), in such a manner that the graded contraction parameters determine their curvature and signature. Secondly, new Poisson homogeneous spaces are constructed by making use of certain Poisson-Lie structures on the corresponding motion groups. Therefore, the quantization of these spaces provides noncommutative analogues of the Cayley-Klein geometries. The kinematical interpretation for the semi-Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian Cayley-Klein geometries is emphasized, since they are just Newtonian and Lorentzian spacetimes of constant curvature.

The Poincaré group as a Drinfel'd double

The eight nonisomorphic Drinfel'd double (DD) structures for the Poincaré Lie group in (2+1) dimensions are explicitly constructed in the kinematical basis. Also, the two existing DD structures for a non-trivial central extension of the (1+1) Poincaré group are also identified and constructed, while in (3+1) dimensions no Poincaré DD structure does exist. Each of the DD structures here presented has an associated canonical quasitriangular Poincaré $r$-matrix whose properties are analysed. Some of these $r$-matrices give rise to coisotropic Poisson homogeneous spaces with respect to the Lorentz subgroup, and their associated Poisson Minkowski spacetimes are constructed. Two of these (2+1) noncommutative DD Minkowski spacetimes turn out to be quotients by a Lorentz Poisson subgroup: the first one corresponds to the double of $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ with trivial Lie bialgebra structure, and the second one gives rise to a quadratic noncommutative Poisson Minkowski spacetime. With these results, the explicit construction of DD structures for all Lorentzian kinematical groups in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions is completed, and the connection between (anti-)de Sitter and Poincaré $r$-matrices through the vanishing cosmological constant limit is also analysed.

Drinfel'd double structures for Poincaré and Euclidean groups

All non-isomorphic three-dimensional Poisson homogeneous Euclidean spaces are constructed and analyzed, based on the classification of coboundary Lie bialgebra structures of the Euclidean group in 3-dimensions, and the only Drinfel'd double structure for this group is explicitly given. The similar construction for the Poincaré case is reviewed and the striking differences between the Lorentzian and Euclidean cases are underlined. Finally, the contraction scheme starting from Drinfel'd double structures of the $\mathfrak{so}(3,1)$ Lie algebra is presented.
