We apply a perturbative approach to evaluate the Casimir energy for a massless real scalar field in 3+1 dimensions, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on two surfaces. One of the surfaces is assumed to be flat, while the other corresponds to a small deformation, described by a single function $eta$, of a flat mirror. The perturbative expansion is carried out up to the fourth order in the deformation $eta$, and the results are applied to the calculation of the Casimir energy for corrugated mirrors in front of a plane. We also reconsider the proximity force approximation within the context of this expansion.

In this paper we study the behavior of the Casimir energy of a multi-cavity across the transition from the metallic to the superconducting phase of the constituting plates. Our analysis is carried out in the framework of the ARCHIMEDES experiment, ai
ming at measuring the interaction of the electromagnetic vacuum energy with a gravitational field. For this purpose it is foreseen to modulate the Casimir energy of a layered structure composing a multi-cavity coupled system by inducing a transition from the metallic to the superconducting phase. This implies a thorough study of the behavior of the cavity, where normal metallic layers are alternated with superconducting layers, across the transition. Our study finds that, because of the coupling between the cavities, mainly mediated by the transverse magnetic modes of the radiation field, the variation of energy across the transition can be very large.
Nucleon structure functions can be observed in Deep Inelastic Scattering experiments, but it is an outstanding challenge to confront them with fully non-perturbative QCD results. For this purpose we investigate the product of electromagnetic currents
(with large photon momenta) between quark states (of low momenta). By means of an Operator Product Expansion the structure function can be decomposed into matrix elements of local operators, and Wilson coefficients. For consistency both have to be computed non-perturbatively. Here we present precision results for a set of Wilson coefficients. They are evaluated from propagators for numerous quark momenta on the lattice, where the use of chiral fermions suppresses undesired operator mixing. This over-determines the Wilson coefficients, but reliable results can be extracted by means of a Singular Value Decomposition.
We study the effects of light-cone fluctuations on the renormalized zero-point energy associated with a free massless scalar field in the presence of boundaries. In order to simulate light-cone fluctuations we introduce a space-time dependent random
coefficient in the Klein-Gordon operator. We assume that the field is defined in a domain with one confined direction. For simplicity, we choose the symmetric case of two parallel plates separated by a distance $a$. The correction to the renormalized vacuum energy density between the plates goes as $1/a^{8}$ instead of the usual $1/a^{4}$ dependence for the free case. In turn we also show that light-cone fluctuations break down the vacuum pressure homogeneity between the plates.
In this paper we study the Casimir energy of QCD within the Gribov-Zwanziger approach. In this model non-perturbative effects of gauge copies are properly taken into account. We show that the computation of the Casimir energy for the MIT bag model wi
thin the (refined) Gribov-Zwanziger approach not only gives the correct sign but it also gives an estimate for the radius of the bag.
The influence of a spherical boundary on the vacuum fluctuations of a massive scalar field is investigated in background of $(D+1)$-dimensional Milne universe, assuming that the field obeys Robin boundary condition on the sphere. The normalized mode
functions are derived for the regions inside and outside the sphere and different vacuum states are discussed. For the conformal vacuum, the Hadamard function is decomposed into boundary-free and sphere-induced contributions and an integral representation is obtained for the latter in both the interior and exterior regions. As important local characteristics of the vacuum state the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of the field squared and of the energy-momentum tensor are investigated. It is shown that the vacuum energy-momentum tensor has an off-diagonal component that corresponds to the energy flux along the radial direction. Depending on the coefficient in Robin boundary condition the sphere-induced contribution to the vacuum energy and the energy flux can be either positive or negative. At late stages of the expansion and for a massive field the decay of the sphere-induced VEVs, as functions of time, is damping oscillatory. The geometry under consideration is conformally related to that for a static spacetime with negative constant curvature space and the sphere-induced contributions in the corresponding VEVs are compared.
