Effective action for delta potentials: spacetime-dependent inhomogeneities and Casimir self-energy

We study the vacuum fluctuations of a quantum scalar field in the presence of a thin and inhomogeneous flat mirror, modeled with a delta potential. Using heat-kernel techniques, we evaluate the Euclidean effective action perturbatively in the inhomogeneities (nonperturbatively in the constant backgr...

520 |a We study the vacuum fluctuations of a quantum scalar field in the presence of a thin and inhomogeneous flat mirror, modeled with a delta potential. Using heat-kernel techniques, we evaluate the Euclidean effective action perturbatively in the inhomogeneities (nonperturbatively in the constant background). We show that the divergences can be absorbed into a local counterterm and that the remaining finite part is in general a nonlocal functional of the inhomogeneities, which we compute explicitly for massless fields in D=4 dimensions. For time-independent inhomogeneities, the effective action gives the Casimir self-energy for a partially transmitting mirror. For time-dependent inhomogeneities, the Wick-rotated effective action gives the probability of particle creation due to the dynamical Casimir effect.
