On quasi-free dynamics on the resolvent algebra
The resolvent algebra is a new C*-algebra of the canonical commutation
relations of a boson field given by Buchholz-Grundling. We study analytic
properties of quasi-free dynamics on the resolvent algebra. Subsequently we
consider a supersymmetric quasi-free dynamics on the graded C*-algebra made of
a Clifford (fermion) algebra and a resolvent (boson) algebra. We establish an
infinitesimal supersymmetry formula upon the GNS Hilbert space for any regular
state satisfying some mild requirement which is standard in quantum field
theory. We assert that the supersymmetric dynamics is given as a C*-dynamics.Comment: This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to its being based on
some unjustified assumptions. Also there are mathematically incorrect
arguments that stem from the assumption
A Dip after the Early Emission of Super-Luminous Supernovae: A Signature of Shock Breakout within Dense Circumstellar Media
The origin of super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe), especially the source of
their huge luminosities, has not been clarified yet. While a strong interaction
between SN ejecta and dense circumstellar media (CSM) is a leading scenario,
alternative models have been proposed. In this Letter, we suggest new
diagnostics to discriminate the strong SN-CSM interaction scenario from the
others: a decline in the luminosity ('dip') before the main peak of the light
curve. This dip is an unavoidable consequence of having a dense CSM within
which the shock breakout occurs. If a dense CSM shell is located far at large
radii from the progenitor inside, it takes time for the SN ejecta to reach it
and the early light curve can be powered by the SN ejecta before the collision.
Once the SN ejecta collides with the dense CSM, the electron density and thus
the Thomson scattering opacity suddenly increase. Photons become unable to go
out of the shock even if there is a source of emission inside, which results in
the dip in the light curve. This dip is a solid prediction from the strong
interaction scenario irrespective of a power source for the early emission.
Eventually the forward shock breaks out from within the dense CSM, and the
luminosity increases by the continuous strong SN-CSM interaction, resulting in
an SLSN. The possible dip observed in the hydrogen-poor SLSN, 2006oz, could be
the first example of this signature and give support to the SN-CSM interaction
as the power source of SLSN 2006oz.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, 1 table, accepted by The Astrophysical Journal

Markov property and strong additivity of von Neumann entropy for graded quantum systems
It is easy to verify the equivalence of the quantum Markov property and the
strong additivity of entropy for graded quantum systems as well. However, the
structure of Markov states for graded systems is different from that for tensor
product systems. For three-composed graded systems there are U(1)-gauge
invariant Markov states whose restriction to the pair of marginal subsystems is
non-separable.Comment: 14 pages, to appear J. Math. Phy
