Quasi-local Casimir energy and vacuum buoyancy in a weak gravitational field
Francesco Sorge
Casimir energy in presence of a weak gravitational field is discussed taking into account the issues related to energy and its conservation in a curved background. It is well-known…
Einstein, Planck and Vera Rubin: relevant encounters between the Cosmological and the Quantum Worlds
Paolo Salucci, Giampiero Esposito, Gaetano Lambiase +38
In Cosmology and in Fundamental Physics there is a crucial question like: where the elusive substance that we call Dark Matter is hidden in the Universe and what is it made of?, th…
Tidal and nonequilibrium Casimir effects in free fall
Justin H. Wilson, Francesco Sorge, Stephen A. Fulling
In this work, we consider a Casimir apparatus that is put into free fall (e.g., falling into a black hole). Working in 1+1D, we find that two main effects occur: First, the Casimir…
Casimir effect in free-fall towards a Schwarzschild black hole
Francesco Sorge, Justin H. Wilson
In this paper we discuss the Casimir effect in a small cavity, freely falling from spatial infinity in spacetime geometry outside of a Schwarzschild black hole. Our main goal is to…
Casimir Effect and Free Fall in a Schwarzschild Black Hole
Francesco Sorge
Scalar field vacuum energy and particle creation in a 3D Casimir apparatus, freely falling in the Schwarzschild spacetime, are considered in the reference frame of a comoving obser…
