The quantum Casimir condensate of a conformal massive scalar field in a compact Friedmann universe is considered in the static approximation. The Abel–Plana formula is used for renormalization of divergent series in the condensate calculation. A differential relation between the static Casimir energy density and static Casimir condensate is derived.

We shall consider possible potentials emerging in (purely metric) f(R)-theories for the conformal scalar field. We shall discuss possible approaches to determine models with specific potentials and show that some potentials qualitatively similar to the typical Higgs potentials are allowed.

We re-evaluate the zero point Casimir energy for the case of a massive scalar field in R1×S3 space, allowing also for deviations from the standard conformal value ξ=1/6, by means of zero temperature zeta function techniques. We show that for the problem at hand this approach is equivalent to the high temperature regularization of the vacuum energy, as conjectured in a previous publication. The analytic continuation can be performed in two ways, which are seen to be equivalent.

Wormhole solutions are discussed for two different physical situations in the background of a homogeneous anisotropic space-time. In the first case, the wormholes are solutions of the Euclidean Einstein equations with a cosmological constant and a two-index anti-symmetric tensor for monopole configuration on a space with three-surface of topology S1×S2. In the second step, conformal scalar field is coupled to gravity and wormhole are considered for both λ=0 and λ>0. These results are analogous to the wormhole solutions for FRW metric.

The Casimir energy for a massless, neutral scalar field in presence of a point interaction is analyzed using a general zeta-regularization approach developed in earlier works. In addition to a regular bulk contribution, there arises an anomalous boundary term which is infinite despite renormalization. The intrinsic nature of this anomaly is briefly discussed.

In this paper, the first-order radiative correction to the Casimir energy for a massive scalar field in the [Formula: see text] theory on a spherical surface with [Formula: see text] topology was calculated. In common methods for calculating the radiative correction to the Casimir energy, the counter-terms related to free theory are used. However, in this study, by using a systematic perturbation expansion, the obtained counter-terms in renormalization program were automatically position-dependent. We maintained that this dependency was permitted, reflecting the effects of the boundary conditions imposed or background space in the problem. Additionally, along with the renormalization program, a supplementary regularization technique that we named Box Subtraction Scheme (BSS) was performed. This scheme presents a useful method for the regularization of divergences, providing a situation that the infinities would be removed spontaneously without any ambiguity. Analysis of the necessary limits of the obtained results for the Casimir energy of the massive and massless scalar field confirmed the appropriate and reasonable consistency of the answers.
