In this paper we study the quantization of a massless scalar field in a rotating frame. In particular, we obtain the Casimir energy in a space–time with one extra compactified dimension for a rotating observer. We consider a uniformly rotating system on the circle S1 and present an equation for spin-0 bosons where noninertial effects can be taken into account. It is shown that the spectrum of the scalar field depends on the angular velocity of the rotating system and in this way, positive and negative modes can be defined through an appropriate choice of the angular velocity. We show that noninertial effects restrict the physical region of the space–time where particles can be placed, and furthermore that the Casimir energy in the space–time with one extra compactified dimension is shifted by these effects. In addition, we pointed out that rotating effects modify the length of the extra dimension for a co-rotating observer in this kind of space–time.

In this paper, the first-order radiative correction to the Casimir energy for a massive scalar field in the [Formula: see text] theory on a spherical surface with [Formula: see text] topology was calculated. In common methods for calculating the radiative correction to the Casimir energy, the counter-terms related to free theory are used. However, in this study, by using a systematic perturbation expansion, the obtained counter-terms in renormalization program were automatically position-dependent. We maintained that this dependency was permitted, reflecting the effects of the boundary conditions imposed or background space in the problem. Additionally, along with the renormalization program, a supplementary regularization technique that we named Box Subtraction Scheme (BSS) was performed. This scheme presents a useful method for the regularization of divergences, providing a situation that the infinities would be removed spontaneously without any ambiguity. Analysis of the necessary limits of the obtained results for the Casimir energy of the massive and massless scalar field confirmed the appropriate and reasonable consistency of the answers.

The self-interaction for a static scalar charge in the space-time of extreme charged anti-dilatonic wormhole is calculated. We assume that the scalar charge is the source of massless scalar field with minimal coupling of the scalar field to the curvature of spacetime.

We calculate thermal corrections to the Casimir energy of a massless scalar field in the Kerr black hole surrounded by quintessence, taking into account the metrics derived by Ghosh [S. G. Ghosh, Eur. Phys. J. C 76, 222 (2016)] and Toshmatov et al. [B. Toshmatov, Z. Stuchlík and B. Ahmedov, Eur. Phys. J. Plus 132, 98 (2017)]. We compare both results and show that they are almost the same, except very close to the horizons. At [Formula: see text], equatorial plane, the results are the same, as should be expected, due to the fact that the metrics coincide in this region.

Quantum fluctuations for a massless scalar field in the background metric of spherical implusive gravitational waves propagating through Minkowski and de Sitter spaces are investigated. It is shown that there exist finite fluctuations for de Sitter space.
