We study the electromagnetic Casimir interaction energy between two parallel concentric cylinders in [Formula: see text]-dimensional Minkowski space–time for different combinations of perfectly conducting boundary condition and infinitely permeable boundary condition. We consider two cases where one cylinder is outside each other and where one is inside the other. By solving the equation of motion and computing the TGTG formulas, explicit formulas for the Casimir interaction energy can be derived and asymptotic behavior of the Casimir interaction energy in the nanoregime is calculated by using perturbation technique. We computed the interaction energy analytically up to next-to-leading order term.

In this note we construct explicit complex and real faithful matrix representations of the Clifford algebras $\Cl_{p,q}$. The representation is based on Pauli matrices and has an elegant structure similar to the fractal geometry. In the cases $p+q=4m$, the representation is unique in equivalent sense, and the $1+3$ dimensional space-time corresponds to the simplest and best case. Besides, the relation between the curvilinear coordinate frame and the local orthonormal basis in the curved space-time is discussed in detail, the covariant derivatives of the spinor and tensors are derived, and the connection of the orthogonal basis in tangent space is calculated. These results are helpful for both theoretical analysis and practical calculation. The basis matrices are the faithful representation of Clifford algebras in any $p+q$ dimensional Minkowski space-time or Riemann space, and the Clifford calculus converts the complicated relations in geometry and physics into simple and concise algebraic operations. Clifford numbers over any number field $\mathbb{F}$ expressed by this matrix basis form a well-defined $2^n$ dimensional hypercomplex number system. Therefore, we can expect that Clifford algebras will complete a large synthesis in science.

General Derivation

The Casimir effect for rectangular boxes has been studied for several decades. But there are still some unclear points. Recently, there are new developments related to this topic, including the demonstration of the equivalence of the regularization methods and the clarification of the ambiguity in the regularization of the temperature-dependent free energy. Also, the interesting quantum spring was raised stemming from the topological Casimir effect of the helix boundary conditions. We review these developments together with the general derivation of the Casimir energy of the p-dimensional cavity in (D + 1)-dimensional space–time, paying special attention to the sign of the Casimir force in a cavity with unequal edges. In addition, we also review the Casimir piston, which is a configuration related to rectangular cavity.

New Formula

Many approaches to quantum gravity consider the revision of the space-time geometry and the structure of elementary particles. One of the main candidates is string theory. It is possible that this theory will be able to describe the problem of hierarchy, provided that there is an appropriate Calabi-Yau geometry. In this paper we will proceed from the traditional view on the structure of elementary particles in the usual four-dimensional space-time. The only condition is that quarks and leptons should have a common emerging structure. When a new formula for the mass of the hierarchy is obtained, this structure arises from topological quantum theory and a suitable choice of dimensional units.

The Stability

We study spherically symmetric thin shell wormholes in a string cloud background in (3 + 1)-dimensional space–time. The amount of exotic matter required for the construction, the traversability and the stability of such wormholes under radial perturbations are analyzed as functions of the parameters of the model. In addition, in the appendices a nonperturbative approach to the dynamics and a possible extension of the analysis to a related model are briefly discussed.
