Casimir effect for the sphere revisited

Quantum Physics 2015-06-26 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

In a recent work Brevik \emph{et al.} have offered formal proofs of two results which figure prominently in calculations of the Casimir pressure on a sphere. It is shown by means of simple counterexamples that each of those proofs is necessarily incorrect.
