On the (im)possibility of Casimir repulsion between Chern-Simons surfaces
Dmitri Vassilevich
TL;DR
This paper critically examines whether Casimir repulsion can occur between materials with Chern-Simons surface actions, analyzing the theoretical feasibility and limitations of such interactions.
Contribution
It provides a detailed review of the theoretical conditions and challenges for achieving Casimir repulsion with Chern-Simons surfaces, clarifying existing misconceptions.
Findings
Casimir repulsion is unlikely between Chern-Simons surfaces under typical conditions
Theoretical constraints limit the realization of repulsive Casimir forces in these systems
The review clarifies the role of Chern-Simons actions in Casimir interactions
Abstract
We critically review the possibilities of a repulsive Casimir interaction between materials which carry Chern-Simons surface actions for the electromagnetic field.
