Description

We review a simple technique for evaluating the regularized vacuum energy stemming from non-trivial boundary conditions and present results for the Casimir energy of a massive fermionic field confined by a d + 1 dimensional slab-bag and the effect of a uniform magnetic field on the vacuum energy of confined massive bosonic and fermionic fields. New results concerning the Casimir energy and the evaluation of the rate of quanta creation in κ-deformed theories are also discussed
