Quantum vacuum under mixed boundary conditions: the case for curved spacetime
Borzoo Nazari
Influence of gravity on the quantum vacuum of a massless minimally coupled scalar field under Robin boundary conditions on parallel plates is investigated. We introduce the detaile…
Electromagnetic Casimir effect and the spacetime index of refraction
B. Nazari, M. Nouri-Zonoz
In [5] we investigated the response of vacuum energy to a gravitational field by considering a Casimir apparatus in a weak gravitational field. Our approach was based on a conjectu…
Casimir effect in a weak gravitational field and the spacetime index of refraction
B. Nazari, M. Nouri-Zonoz
In a recent paper [arXiv:0904.2904] using a conjecture it is shown how one can calculate the effect of a weak stationary gravitational field on vacuum energy in the context of Casi…
Vacuum energy and the spacetime index of refraction: A new synthesis
M. Nouri-Zonoz
In 1+3 (threading) formulation of general relativity spacetime behaves analogous to a medium with a specific index of refraction with respect to the light propagation. Accepting th…
