The Zeta Function Approach to Casimir Energy Calculations in Higher Dimensions
Richard Obousy
The vacuum fluctuations give rise to a number of phenomena; however, the the Casimir Effect is arguably the most salient manifestation of the quantum vacuum. In its most basic form…
PROJECT ICARUS: Son of Daedalus, Flying Closer to Another Star
K. F. Long, R. K. Obousy, A. C. Tziolas +4
During the 1970s members of the British Interplanetary Society embarked on a landmark theoretical engineering design study to send a probe to Barnard's star. Project Daedalus was a…
Casimir energy and the possibility of higher dimensional manipulation
R. K. Obousy, A. A. Saharian
It is well known that the Casimir effect is an excellent candidate for the stabilization of the extra dimensions. It has also been suggested that the Casimir effect in higher dimen…
Investigation into Compactified Dimensions: Casimir Energies and Phenomenological Aspects
Richard K. Obousy
The primary focus of this dissertation is the study of the Casimir effect and the possibility that this phenomenon may serve as a mechanism to mediate higher dimensional stability,…
Casimir Energy and Brane Stability
Richard Obousy, Gerald Cleaver
We investigate the role of Casimir energy as a mechanism for brane stability in five-dimensional models with the fifth dimension compactified on an S^1\Z_2 orbifold, which includes…
A Non-Standard String Embedding of E8
Richard K. Obousy, Matthew B. Robinson, Gerald B. Cleaver
An algorithm to systematically and efficiently generate free fermionic heterotic string models was recently introduced. This algorithm has been adopted by the Free Fermionic Model…
