Lattice Fermionic Casimir effect in a Slab Bag and Universality
arXiv:2207.00889 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2022.137558
Abstract
We apply the physically more appealing MIT Bag boundary conditions to study the Casimir effect on the lattice. Employing the formalism of arXiv:2005.10758 to calculate the Casimir energy for free lattice fermions, we show that the results for the naive, Wilson and overlap fermions match the continuum expressions precisely in the zero lattice spacing limit, as expected from universality. In contrast to arXiv:2005.10758 where the result for the naive fermions rapidly oscillates with the lattice size for both, the periodic (P) and anti-periodic (AP) boundary conditions, no oscillations are observed with the lattice size. Furthermore, the apparent violation of the universality for naive fermion in arXiv:2005.10758 is shown to be cured by applying suitable series extrapolation techniques, thus demonstrating that the Casimir energy for the naive fermions with periodic/antiperiodic boundary conditions agrees with the results for other free lattice fermions, and can as well be used to obtain the results for the Dirac fermion in the zero limit of the lattice spacing.
