Scalar Casimir Energies for Separable Coordinate Systems: Application to Semi-transparent Planes in an Annulus
arXiv:0912.2374 · doi:10.1142/9789814289931_0008
Abstract
We derive a simplified general expression for the two-body scalar Casimir energy in generalized separable coordinate systems. We apply this technique to the case of radial semi-transparent planes in the annular region between two concentric Dirichlet cylinders. This situation is explored both analytically and numerically.
