Abstract

We investigate the quantized scalar field on the Kaluza-Klein spacetimes of , where is the ordinary dimensional flat Minkowski spacetimes, is the dimensional commutative torus, and is a noncommutative fuzzy two sphere with a fixed quantized radius. After evaluating the one-loop correction to the spectrum we use the mass-corrected term to compute the Casimir energy of the scalar field on the model spacetime. It is seen that, for some values of and , the Casimir energy due to vacuum fluctuation in the model spacetimes could give rise a repulsive force to stabilize the commutative torus.
