Abstract: We analyze the matching of high and low temperature expansions of the effective action of massive scalar fields confined between two infinite walls with different boundary conditions. One remarkable low temperature effect is the exponential decay of the vacuum energy with the separation of the walls and the fact that the rate of decay is half for the boundary conditions which involve a connection between the boundary conditions of the two walls. In particular, the rate for Dirichlet boundary conditions is double than that of periodic boundary conditions.

On the two-dimensional quantum confined Stark effect in strong electric fields [0.0]
We consider a Stark Hamiltonian on a two-dimensional bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In the strong electric field limit we derive, under certain local convexity conditions, a three-term expansion of the low-lying eigenvalues. This shows that the excitation are proportional to the square root of the boundary curvature at a certain point determined by the direction of the electric field.

Thermal Casimir effect with general boundary conditions [0.0]
We study the system of a scalar quantum field confined between two plane, isotropic, and homogeneous parallel plates at thermal equilibrium. We find out that our system is thermodynamically stable for any boundary conditions, and we identify a critical temperature below which certain boundary conditions yield attractive, repulsive, and null Casimir forces.
