Casimir energy of a spherical shell in Minkowski spacetime
arXiv:0710.5633 · doi:10.3938/jkps.53.1826
Abstract
We study the Casimir energy of a spherical shell of radius in -Minkowski spacetime for a complex field with an asymmetric ordering and obtain the energy up to . We show that the vacuum breaks particle and anti-particle symmetry if one requires the spectra to be consistent with the blackbody radiation at the commutative limit.
