Comment on: "The Casimir force on a piston in the spacetime with extra compactified dimensions" [Phys. Lett. B 668 (2008) 72]

S. A. Fulling, K. Kirsten

We offer a clarification of the significance of the indicated paper of H. Cheng. Cheng's conclusions about the attractive nature of Casimir forces between parallel plates are valid…

Heat kernel coefficients for chiral bag boundary conditions

Giampiero Esposito, Peter Gilkey, Klaus Kirsten

We study the asymptotic expansion of the smeared L2-trace of fexp(-tP^2) where P is an operator of Dirac type, f is an auxiliary smooth smearing function which is used to localize…

Stability theorems for chiral bag boundary conditions

Peter Gilkey, Klaus Kirsten

We study asymptotic expansions of the smeared L2-traces Fexp(-t P^2) and FPexp(-tP^2), where P is an operator of Dirac type and F is an auxiliary smooth endomorphism. We impose chi…

Duality symmetry of the p-form effective action and super trace of the twisted de Rham complex

P. Gilkey, K. Kirsten, D. Vassilevich +1

We consider quantum p-form fields interacting with a background dilaton. We calculate the variation with respect to the dilaton of a difference of the effective actions in the mode…

Divergencies in the Casimir energy for a medium with realistic ultraviolet behavior

H. Falomir, K. Kirsten, K. Rébora

We consider a dielectric medium with an ultraviolet behavior as it follows from the Drude model. Compared with dilute models, this has the advantage that, for large frequencies, tw…

Heat trace asymptotics with transmittal boundary conditions and quantum brane-world scenario

P. B. Gilkey, K. Kirsten, D. V. Vassilevich

We study the spectral geometry of an operator of Laplace type on a manifold with a singular surface. We calculate several first coefficients of the heat kernel expansion. These coe…
