As a further step along this line, we provide an explicit derivation of Casimlr effect for massless spin-3/2 field with periodic boundary condition imposed in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The corresponding results with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are also discussed.展开更多

文摘The Casimir effect has been studied for various quantum fields in both fiat and curved spacetimes. As a further step along this line, we provide an explicit derivation of Casimlr effect for massless spin-3/2 field with periodic boundary condition imposed in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The corresponding results with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are also discussed.
