A Lorentz symmetry violation aether-type theoretical model is considered to investigate the Casimir effect and the generation of topological mass associated with a self-interacting massive scalar fields obeying Dirichlet, Newman and mixed boundary conditions on two large and parallel plates. By adopting the path integral approach we found the effective potential at one- and two-loop corrections which provides both the energy density and topological mass when taken in the ground state of the scalar field. We then analyse how these quantities are affected by the Lorentz symmetry violation and compare the results with previous ones found in literature.

    The regular-sector Casimir energy diverges as a magnetic background approaches a degenerate Lorentz-breaking vacuum, but the divergence is an artifact: the extraordinary mode vanishes when the degenerate condition is ...

    A claimed exact Casimir energy for a scalar field with a quadratic position-dependent mass is derived, but the conversion from continuum to discrete transverse modes uses an unproven Landau-style measure.

  3. One-Loop Correction to the Casimir Energy in Lorentz-Violating $\phi^4$ Theory with Rough Membrane Boundaries

    The one-loop Casimir energy for a Lorentz-violating scalar field between rough membranes is claimed to equal the smooth-plate result at a rescaled separation, but the periodic-boundary sector is off by a factor of eight.
