Numerical evaluation of the Casimir interaction between cylinders
F. C. Lombardo, F. D. Mazzitelli, P. I. Villar
We numerically evaluate the Casimir interaction energy for configurations involving two perfectly conducting eccentric cylinders and a cylinder in front of a plane. We consider in…
Conformal invariance and apparent universality of semiclassical gravity
A. Garbarz, G. Giribet, F. D. Mazzitelli
In a recent work, it has been pointed out that certain observables of the massless scalar field theory in a static spherically symmetric background exhibit a universal behavior at…
Casimir effect with dynamical matter on thin mirrors
C. D. Fosco, F. C. Lombardo, F. D. Mazzitelli
We calculate the Casimir energy for scalar and gauge fields in interaction with zero-width mirrors, including quantum effects due to the matter fields inside the mirrors. We consid…
Exploring the quantum vacuum with cylinders
F. C. Lombardo, F. D. Mazzitelli, P. I. Villar
We review recent work on the Casimir interaction energy between cylindrical shells. We include proposals for future experiments involving cylinders, such us a null experiment using…
Casimir energies with finite-width mirrors
C. D. Fosco, F. C. Lombardo, F. D. Mazzitelli
We use a functional approach to the Casimir effect in order to evaluate the exact vacuum energy for a real scalar field in dimensions, in the presence of backgrounds that, in…
