A note on "Algebraic approach to Casimir force between two $\delta$-like potentials" (K. Ziemian, Ann. Henri Poincaré, Online First, 2021)

Abstract

We comment on the recent work [1], and on its relations with our papers [2,3] cited therein. In particular we show that, contrarily to what stated in [1], the Casimir energy density determined therein in the case of a single delta-like singularity coincides with the energy density obtained previously in our paper [2] using a different approach.
