Casimir Torques between Anisotropic Boundaries in Nematic Liquid Crystals
Fluctuation-induced interactions between anisotropic objects immersed in a nematic liquid crystal are shown to depend on the relative orientation of these objects. The resulting long-range ``Casimir'' torques are explicitely calculated for a simple geometry where elastic effects are absent...
