Casimir effect with non-local boundary conditions

Aram Saharian, Giampiero Esposito

Non-local boundary conditions have been considered in theoretical high-energy physics with emphasis on one-loop quantum cosmology, one-loop conformal anomalies, Bose-Einstein conde…

Improved Action Functionals in Non-Perturbative Quantum Gravity

Alfio Bonanno, Giampiero Esposito, Claudio Rubano

Models of gravity with variable G and Lambda have acquired greater relevance after the recent evidence in favour of the Einstein theory being non-perturbatively renormalizable in t…

New Developments in the Spectral Asymptotics of Quantum Gravity

Giampiero Esposito, Guglielmo Fucci, Alexander Yu. Kamenshchik +1

A vanishing one-loop wave function of the Universe in the limit of small three-geometry is found, on imposing diffeomorphism-invariant boundary conditions on the Euclidean 4-ball i…

A Non-Singular One-Loop Wave Function of the Universe From a New Eigenvalue Asymptotics in Quantum Gravity

Giampiero Esposito, Guglielmo Fucci, Alexander Yu. Kamenshchik +1

Recent work on Euclidean quantum gravity on the four-ball has proved regularity at the origin of the generalized zeta-function built from eigenvalues for metric and ghost modes, wh…

A New Spectral Cancellation in Quantum Gravity

Giampiero Esposito, Guglielmo Fucci, Alexander Yu. Kamenshchik +1

A general method exists for studying Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories, as well as Euclidean quantum gravity, at one-loop level on manifolds with boundary. In the latter case,…

Variations of Casimir energy from a superconducting transition

Giuseppe Bimonte, Enrico Calloni, Giampiero Esposito +1

We consider a five-layer Casimir cavity, including a thin superconducting film. We show that when the cavity is cooled below the critical temperature for the onset of superconducti…
