    • The Soft Wall Model of the Casimir Effect 
      Whisler, Colin M.; Murray, Steven (2014-08-13)
      In this paper, we examine the Casimir interaction between a scalar field and a boundary analogous to a conducting wall with some small but finite skin depth to electromagnetic radiation with the goal of calculating the ...
    • Static, cylindrical symmetry in general relativity and vacuum energy 
      Trendafilova, Cynthia (2011-08-08)
      In the first section of my research, in analogy with the standard derivation of the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild solution of the Einstein field equations, I find all static, cylindrically symmetric solutions of the ...
    • 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, ...
