Casimir stress on parallel plates in de Sitter space with signature change

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-10-27 v1

Abstract

The Casimir stress on two parallel plates in a de Sitter background corresponding to different metric signatures and cosmological constants is calculated for massless scalar fields satisfying Robin boundary conditions on the plates. Our calculation shows that for the parallel plates with false vacuum between and true vacuum outside, the total Casimir pressure leads to an attraction of the plates at very early universe.
