TL;DR
This paper investigates the Casimir effect between two mirrors with parity-breaking properties, analyzing how nonlocal actions and Chern-Simons boundary conditions influence vacuum interaction energy.
Contribution
It introduces a framework for calculating Casimir energy with parity-breaking and nonlocal boundary conditions, extending previous models to more general mirror actions.
Findings
Interaction energy depends on parity-breaking terms
Comparison with Chern-Simons boundary conditions shows differences
Explicit calculations for specific mirror configurations
Abstract
We study the Casimir interaction energy due to the vacuum fluctuations of the Electromagnetic (EM) field in the presence of two mirrors, described by -dimensional, generally nonlocal actions, which may contain both parity-conserving and parity-breaking terms. We compare the results with the ones corresponding to Chern-Simons boundary conditions, and evaluate the interaction energy for several particular situations.
