Closed Path Approach to Casimir Effect in Rectangular Cavities and Pistons

We study thoroughly Casimir energy and Casimir force in a rectangular cavity and piston with various boundary conditions, for both scalar field and electromagnetic (EM) field. Using the cylinder kernel approach, we find the Casimir energy exactly and analyze the Casimir energy and Casimir force from...
