The Casimir effect in chiral media using path integral techniques

A bstract We employ path integral methods to calculate the Casimir energy and force densities in a chiral extension of QED. Manifestly gauge invariant perfect electromagnetic boundary conditions, natural generalization electric magnetic are implemented directly action by usage auxiliary fields. The properties vacuum modelled using background θ field, we introduce techniques efficiently this medium. flexibility our method allows us naturally obtain results for variety configurations, where comparison is possible agreement with existing literature. Among these multiple situations repulsive possible.
