چکیده
The energy of a perfectly conducting rectangular cavity is studied by making use of pistons’ interactions. The exact solution for a 3D perfectly conducting piston with an arbitrary cross section is being discussed.

Casimir pistons with hybrid boundary conditions
The Casimir effect giving rise to an attractive or repulsive force between the configuration boundaries that confine the massless scalar field is reexamined for one to three-dimensional pistons in this paper. Especially, we consider Casimir pistons with hybrid boundary conditions, where the boundary condition on the piston is Neumann and those on other surfaces are Dirichlet. We show that the C...
متن کاملWeak and Repulsive Casimir Force in Piston Geometries
We study the Casimir force in piston-like geometries semiclassically. The force on the piston is finite and physical, but to leading semiclassical approximation depends strongly on the shape of the surrounding cavity. Whereas this force is attractive for pistons in a parallelepiped with flat cylinder head, for which the semiclassical approximation by periodic orbits is exact, this approximation...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 9 Casimir Pistons with Curved Boundaries
In this paper we study the Casimir force for a piston configuration in R 3 with one dimension being slightly curved and the other two infinite. We work for two different cases with this setup. In the first, the piston is " free to move " along a transverse dimension to the curved one and in the other case the piston " moves " along the curved one. We find that the Casimir force has opposite sig...
متن کاملKaluza-Klein Pistons with non-Commutative Extra Dimensions
We calculate the scalar Casimir energy and Casimir force for a R×N Kaluza-Klein piston setup in which the extra dimensional space N contains a non-commutative 2sphere, SFZ . The cases to be studied are T d × SFZ and SFZ respectively as extra dimensional spaces, with T d the d dimensional commutative torus. The validity of the results and the regularization that the piston setup offers are exami...
متن کاملVacuum energy and repulsive Casimir forces in quantum star graphs
Casimir pistons are models in which finite Casimir forces can be calculated without any suspect renormalizations. It has been suggested that such forces are always attractive, but we present several counterexamples, notably a simple type of quantum graph in which the sign of the force depends upon the number of edges. We also show that Casimir forces in quantum graphs can be reliably computed b...
