We reconsider the Casimir effect for the massless conformal scalar field in a ''half Einstein universe.'' This case is interesting in that it could be solved analytically by several different methods. Thus, it allows us to compare and understand effects of different approaches. We first calculate the renormalized vacuum energy by using the mode sum method and study the effects of different cutoff functions. Next, we calculate the renormalized vacuum energy-momentum tensor by using the covariant point-splitting method. We construct the Green's functions by using the eigenfunctions, which are obtained by solving the wave equation with the appropriate boundary conditions (Dirichlet and Neumann). We discuss further properties of this case as well as its relation to previous calculations.

CASIMIR FORCE IN WARPED HIGHER DIMENSIONAL MODELS SURVEY Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Turan, İsmail (2014-01-01) Casimir force is one of such macroscopic phenomenon originating from the macroscopic world governed by quantum mechanics. The simplest geometry to test and calculate the force is the two-parallel-plate system. The current status of the Casimir force in higher warped dimensional models are reviewed. The techniques and methods used in such calculations have been mentioned. The calculation of the Casimir force between two conducting neutral parallel plates are presented and given in all details for q + 1 dimen...
CASIMIR EFFECT IN A HALF EINSTEIN UNIVERSE - AN EXACTLY SOLVABLE CASE IN CURVED BACKGROUND AND WITH A SPHERICAL BOUNDARY BAYIN, SS; OZCAN, M (IOP Publishing, 1993-09-01) We reconsider the Casimir problem for the massless conformal scalar field in a 'half Einstein universe'. We first calculate the renormalized vacuum energy by using the mode sum method. Next, we calculate the renormalized vacuum energy-momentum tensor by using the point-splitting method. We construct the Green function by using the eigenfunctions, which are obtained by solving the wave equation with the appropriate boundary conditions. We discuss the importance of this case as well as its relation to previo...
Casimir energy of the massless conformal scalar field on S-2 by the point-splitting method Bayin, SS; Ozcan, M (1997-10-01) We calculate the Casimir energy of the massless conformal scalar held on the surface (S-2) of a 3 dimensional Riemann sphere by using the point-splitting, mode sum and the zeta-function renormalization methods. We also consider the half space case with both the Dirichlet and the Neumann boundary conditions. This problem is interesting since the Casimir energy could be calculated analytically by various methods, thus allowing us to compare different regularization schemes.

CASIMIR ENERGY IN A CURVED BACKGROUND WITH A SPHERICAL BOUNDARY AND ARBITRARY RADIUS - AN EXACT SOLUTION VIA THE POINT SPLITTING METHOD BAYM, SS; OZCAN, M (1994-05-15) We calculate the renormalized quantum vacuum energy-momentum tensor inside a spherical boundary, where the background geometry inside the boundary is represented by the closed static Friedmann metric. The remormalized energy density has two terms, one of which comes from the local curvature and the other one is due to the presence of the boundary. The renormalized energy density has a nonintegrable divergence as the boundary is approached.
Thermodynamics of Lifshitz black holes Devecioglu, Deniz Olgu; Sarıoğlu, Bahtiyar Özgür (American Physical Society (APS), 2011-06-23) We apply the recently extended conserved Killing charge definition of Abbott-Deser-Tekin formalism to compute, for the first time, the energies of analytic Lifshitz black holes in higher dimensions. We then calculate the temperature and the entropy of this large family of solutions, and study and discuss the first law of black hole thermodynamics. Along the way we also identify the possible critical points of the relevant quadratic curvature gravity theories. Separately, we also apply the generalized Killin...
