Dynamical Casimir Effect with Semi-Transparent Mirrors, and Cosmology
arXiv:0712.1347 · doi:10.1088/1751-8113/41/16/164061
Abstract
After reviewing some essential features of the Casimir effect and, specifically, of its regularization by zeta function and Hadamard methods, we consider the dynamical Casimir effect (or Fulling-Davis theory), where related regularization problems appear, with a view to an experimental verification of this theory. We finish with a discussion of the possible contribution of vacuum fluctuations to dark energy, in a Casimir like fashion, that might involve the dynamical version.
