Vacuum energy of a massive scalar field in the presence of a semi-transparent cylinder

چکیده

We compute the ground state energy of a massive scalar field in the background of a cylindrical shell whose potential is given by a delta function. The zero point energy is expressed in terms of the Jost function of the related scattering problem, the renormalization is performed with the help of the heat kernel expansion. The energy is found to be negative for attractive and for repulsive backgrounds as well.

رد تانسور انرژی- تکانه و پس‌زنی گرانشی اسکالرهای شوینگر در فضازمان دوسیته سه‌بعدی

In this paper, we consider a massive charged scalar field coupled to a uniform electric field background in a 3 dimensional de Sitter spacetime. We consider the value of the dimensionless coupling constant of the scalar field to the scalar curvature of a 3 dimensional de Sitter spacetime equal to 1/8. We compute the expectation value of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor in the in-vacuum s...

Scalar Casimir effect for D-dimensional spherically symmetric Robin boundaries

The vacuum expectation values for the energy-momentum tensor of a massive scalar field with general curvature coupling and obeying Robin boundary condition on spherically symmetric boundaries in D-dimensional space are investigated. The expressions are derived for the regularized vacuum energy density, radial and azimuthal stress components (i) inside and outside a single spherical surface and ...

Finite temperature correlation function of two dissipative massive scalar fields: Thermofield approach

The present paper aims at investigating the manner of two dissipative massive scalar fields. Two massive scalar fields that interact with a reservoir were considered and a reservoir was modeled by continuum Klein-Gordon fields. The Lagrangian of the total system was canonically quantized and the dynamics of the system was determined using the Euler-Lagrange equation. Then, the explicit form of the...
