From the modern viewpoint and by the geometric method, this paper provides a concise foundation for the quantum theory of massless spin-3/2 field in Minkowski spacetime, which includes both the one-particle's quantum mechanics and the many-particle's quantum field theory. The explicit result presented here is useful for the investigation of spin-3/2 field in various circumstances such as supergravity, twistor programme, Casimir effect, and quantum inequality.

We propose a heuristic derivation of Casimir effect in the context of minimal length theories based on a Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP). By considering a GUP with only a quadratic term in the momentum, we compute corrections to the standard formula of Casimir energy for the parallel-plate geometry, the sphere and the cylindrical shell. For the first configuration, we show that our result is consistent with the one obtained via more rigorous calculations in Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Experimental developments are finally discussed.

The Galilean covariance, formulated in 5-dimensions space, describes the nonrelativistic physics in a way similar to a Lorentz covariant quantum field theory being considered for relativistic physics. Using a nonrelativistic approach the Stefan–Boltzmann law and the Casimir effect at finite temperature for a particle with spin zero and 1/2 are calculated. The thermo field dynamics is used to include the finite temperature effects.

The vacuum energy in interacting scalar field theory is computed in the case of the Casimir effect as a sum over zero-point energies and as a path-integral determinant, using both ζ-function regularization and dimensional regularization. Using a simple nonrecursive method of calculation, the two forms of the vacuum energy are shown to differ before renormalization by a scale-independent term when ζ-function regularization is used, but yield exactly the same result when dimensional regularization is used.

We study expressions for the regularization of general multidimensional Epstein zeta-functions of the type [Formula: see text] After reviewing some classical results in the light of the extended proof of zeta-function regularization recently obtained by the authors, approximate but very quickly convergent expressions for these functions are derived. This type of analysis has many interesting applications, e.g. in any quantum field theory defined in a partially compactified Euclidean spacetime or at finite temperature. As an example, we obtain the partition function for the Casimir effect at finite temperature.
