Quantum vacuum under mixed boundary conditions: the case for curved spacetime
arXiv:2202.12960 · doi:10.1088/1361-6382/ab8bb7
Abstract
Influence of gravity on the quantum vacuum of a massless minimally coupled scalar field under Robin boundary conditions on parallel plates is investigated. We introduce the detailed calculation of the volume energy for the case the gravitational background is weak in its most general form for a static spacetime. It founds that the quantum vacuum usually reacts to the gravitational field by decreasing the Casimir energy. In addition, we find sufficient conditions under which the Casimir force increases. Interestingly, the first order perturbation corrections, are present in the obtained formula for the volume energy. We show that for some specific choices of parameters, the energy is independent of Robin coefficients. Consistency with the literature is shown in some limiting cases and well-known examples are presented for both an increase or decrease in the volume energy.
