Casimir stress for cylindrical shell in de-Sitter space
arXiv:hep-th/0203029 · doi:10.1023/B:GERG.0000036054.14902.a6
Abstract
The Casimir stress on cylinderical shell in de Sitter background for massless scalar field satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions on the cylinder is calculated. The metric is written in conformally flat form to make maximum use of the Minkowski space calculations. Different cosmological constants are assumed for the space inside and outside the cylinder to have general results applicable to the case of cylindrical domain wall formations in the early universe.
