Gluing Formula for Casimir Energies

We provide a completely new perspective for the analysis of Casimir forces in very general piston configurations. To this end, in order to be self-contained, we prove a “gluing formula” well known in mathematics and relate it with Casimir forces in piston configurations. At the center of our descrip...
