The Casimir force is an effect of quantum vacuum field fluctuations, with applications in many domains of physics. The ideal expression obtained by Casimir, valid for perfect plane mirrors at zero temperature, has to be modified to take into account the effects of the optical properties of mirrors, thermal fluctuations, and geometry. After a general introduction to the Casimir force and a description of the current state of the art for Casimir force measurements and their comparison with theory, this chapter presents pedagogical treatments of the main features of the theory of Casimir forces for one-dimensional model systems and for mirrors in three-dimensional space.

We study the fermionisation of Seiberg–Witten mapped action (to order θ) of the λϕ4 theory coupled minimally with U(1) gauge field governed by Chern–Simons action. Starting from the corresponding partition function we derive nonperturbatively (in coupling constant) the partition function of the spin-1/2 theory following Polyakov spin factor formalism. We find that the dual interacting fermionic theory is nonlocal. This feature also persists in the limit of vanishing self-coupling. In θ → 0 limit, the commutative result is obtained.

The electron spectral weight of doped Mott insulators based on the two-dimensional slave boson gauge field theory is studied. The vertex correction with static gauge field is calculated in the second order perturbation theory. The vertex correction is found to be singular at low energy and requires non-perturbative treatments.

One discusses the tree-level unitarity and presents asymptotic behavior of scattering amplitudes for three-dimensional gauge-invariant models where complex Chern- Simons-Maxwell fields (with and without a Proca-like mass) are coupled to an Abelian gauge field.

We study parity violation in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theories coupled to massive fermions. Using the ζ function regularization approach we evaluate the ground state fermion current in an arbitrary gauge field background, showing that it gets two different contributions which violate parity invariance and induce a Chern–Simons term in the gauge field effective action. One is related to the well-known classical parity breaking produced by a fermion mass term in three dimensions; the other, already present for massless fermions, is related to peculiarities of gauge-invariant regularization in odd-dimensional spaces.


The electromagnetic field is quantized on the basis of the complete set of spatial modes of a plane dielectric slab of arbitrary thickness and refractive index but infinite transverse dimensions, located in otherwise empty three-dimensional space. The vacuum field fluctuations and spontaneous emission rates are evaluated as functions of position both inside and outside the slab. The source-field operator is derived for emission by atoms inside the slab, in the direction perpendicular to its surfaces. Particular attention is given to the possibility of suppressing spontaneous emission by placing atoms in, or close to, a dielectric slab.
