    • Vacuum energy for static, cylindrically symmetric systems 
      Trendafilova, Cynthia (2012-04-18)
      In my previous thesis for the Undergraduate Research Scholars program I have calculated, both in terms of the scalar field and in terms of the cylinder kernel, the components of the stress-energy tensor of a quantized ...
    • Vacuum Energy in General Power Wall Models 
      Shayit, Agam
      In the study of vacuum energy and the Casimir effect, it proves convenient to model the parallel conducting plates by a “soft” wall of the form v(z) = z^α rather than the standard Dirichlet wall. This model, for instance, ...
