A non-perturbative approach to the scalar Casimir effect with Lorentz symmetry violation

We determine the effect of Lorentz invariance violation in the vacuum energy and stress between two parallel plates separated by a distance L, in the presence of a massive real scalar field. We parametrize the Lorentz-violation in terms of a symmetric tensor hμν that represents a constant background...

description We determine the effect of Lorentz invariance violation in the vacuum energy and stress between two parallel plates separated by a distance L, in the presence of a massive real scalar field. We parametrize the Lorentz-violation in terms of a symmetric tensor hμν that represents a constant background. Through the Green's function method, we obtain the global Casimir energy, the Casimir force between the plates and the energy density in a closed analytical form without resorting to perturbative methods. With regards to the pressure, we find that Fc(L)=F0(L˜)/−dethμν, where F0 is the Lorentz-invariant expression, and L˜ is the plate separation rescaled by the component of hμν normal to the plates, L˜=L/−hnn. We also analyze the Casimir stress including finite-temperature corrections. The local behavior of the Casimir energy density is also discussed.
