This paper is incorrect, and has been withdrawn by the author.
In this work the Casimir effect is studied for scalar fields in the presence of boundaries and under the influence of arbitrary smooth potentials of compact support. In this setting, piston configurations are analyzed in which the piston is…
We investigate the Casimir-Polder force acting on a polarizable microparticle in the geometry of a straight cosmic string. In order to develop this analysis we evaluate the electromagnetic field Green tensor on the imaginary frequency axis.…
Recently, the topic of Casimir repulsion has received a great deal of attention, largely because of the possibility of technological application. The general subject has a long history, going back to the self-repulsion of a conducting…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author(s), due the following reasons. A similar system for a different purpose has already been studied in Phys.Rev.D60:083001,1999 (astro-ph/9904315). Moreover, our analysis was wrong because we have…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author, due to an error in the proof of Theorem 3.8.
This paper has been withdrawn due to disagreement of suggested results and methods between authors.
We develop a mathematically precise framework for the Casimir effect. Our working hypothesis, verified in the case of parallel plates, is that only the regularization-independent Ramanujan sum of a given asymptotic series contributes to the…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to substantial changes.
We offer a clarification of the significance of the indicated paper of H. Cheng. Cheng's conclusions about the attractive nature of Casimir forces between parallel plates are valid beyond the particular model in which he derived them; they…
This paper is withdrawn.
The Casimir force between dissipative metallic mirrors at non zero temperature has recently given rise to contradictory claims which have raised doubts about the theoretical expression of the force. In order to contribute to the resolution…
A general analysis of thermal noise in torsion pendulums is presented. The specific case where the torsion angle is kept fixed by electronic feedback is analyzed. This analysis is applied to a recent experiment that employed a torsion…

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to a likely hole in the proof.
The authors have decided to withdraw this submission. Clarifications/corrections, if any, may follow at a later date.
This comment has been withdrawn by the authors due to crucial error.
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. We have discovered an error in the evaluation of the diagram, which invalidates our conclusion.
